Title:
  notify-osd seems to be unable to use some of the fonts

Status in “notify-osd” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: notify-osd

  With some of the fonts set as an "application font" via System -> Preferences -> Appearance notification pop-ups are displayed with Deja Vu Sans Book (i.e. the default system font).
  Though they are meant to be displayed with the "application font".

  I've attached two screenshots of a correct behaviour (with Droid Serif) and an incorrect one (with URW Bookman L).
  (Not that I would use serif fonts for UI — it's just to make the difference more noticeable.)

  I've chosen two fonts available in the repository to insure that this
  behaviour is not a result of an incorrect manual font installation.
  But it is reproducible with fonts just dropped in
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype folder: for instance, Segoe UI or Lucida
  Sans Unicode work OK, while Lucida Grande or Nokia Sans Wide are
  replaced with "Sans".

  The only pattern I notice here is that fonts with spaces in their file
  names do not work (not sure about URW Bookman or URW Gothic — I don't
  know their filenames).
