Recently Adobe & Google released a open-source pan-CJK font, Source Han
Sans from Adobe or Noto Sans CJK from Google.

This font family features 7 font weights: ExtraLight, Light, Normal,
Regular, Meidum, Bold, Heavy and their os2 weight are: 100, 300, 350,
400, 500, 700, 900 respectively.

However, in fontconfig, os2 weight class 350 and 400 both maps to weight
80 and I think this makes fontconfig or pango confuse about how to
choose the default font.

In particular in the GktFontChooser user can't choose one of these
fonts. To fix this we probably also have to fix Pango.

This issue is also reported to the source-han-sans project:

I believe this is a Pango limitation, not fontconfig.  I'll take a look.

Title:
  fontconfig confuses bold and medium weights

Status in Fontconfig - Font Configuration Library:
  Confirmed
Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Attempts to set "Ubuntu Bold" in the Appearance settings fall back to
  "Ubuntu Medium". In fact, in the font selection screen there seems to
  be no difference between bold and medium.

  Curiously enough, Bug #746382 sort of proves that Ubuntu Bold *is*
  installed and accessible.
