Title:
  Metadata is Incorrect in Ubuntu Font Set

Status in Ubuntu Font Family:
  New
Status in fonts-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This has been going on for quite a while and still cannot understand why it has not been corrected.
  Metadata in Ubuntu Medium, Ubuntu Light and Ubuntu Thin does not follow standard convention.

  Abbreviated output of fc-list | grep Ubuntu (showing the problematic
  fonts)

  Ubuntu-L.ttf: Ubuntu,Ubuntu Light:style=Light,Regular
  Ubuntu-LI.ttf:Ubuntu,Ubuntu Light:style=Light Italic,Italic
  Ubuntu-M.ttf: Ubuntu,Ubuntu Light:style=Medium,Bold
  Ubuntu-MI.ttf: Ubuntu,Ubuntu Light:style=Medium Italic,Bold Italic
  Ubuntu-Th.ttf: Ubuntu,Ubuntu Thin:style=Thin,Regular

  But fc-list output should be:
  Ubuntu-L.ttf: Ubuntu Light:style=Regular
  Ubuntu-LI.ttf: Ubuntu Light:style=Italic
  Ubuntu-M.ttf: Ubuntu Medium:style=Regular
  Ubuntu-MI.ttf: Ubuntu Medium:style=Italic
  Ubuntu-Th.ttf: Ubuntu Thin:style=Regular

  This affects Bionic, Cosmic, Dingo and Eoan and distributions based on them.  Very large set.
  Applications affected, Libreoffice, Scribus, Inkscape, Pinta and others.  Some cannot even see Medium or Light fonts.

  I have attached a set of corrected fonts for review.  A fix is
  possible.
