You were right, actually: it's definitely Ubuntu Light. Now why would
that be happening...? There are some other bugs discussing how the
different weights of the Ubuntu font are arranged, I'm sort of wondering
if it's related...

Good, so that much is working then (getting the proper font when Ubuntu
Regular is requested). So then on to investigating why the GTK look and
feel is choosing Light and not Regular...

Title:
  Fat fonts in Swing applications

Bug description:
  Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 I noticed that the fonts in Java
  Swing applications use the bold font weight. This looks really ugly
  and takes up to much space.
