Title:
  Fonts weight variants selection

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
  Confirmed
Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Inkscape's font selector displays the right fonts

  Steps:
  * install the snapshot of DejaVu with DejaVu Sans
  ExtraLight:
  http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Snapshots
  * type some text in Inkscape 0.43
  * open the font selection tool

  Expected behaviour:
  * each variant should be displayed in the preview
  accordingly
  * if applied, the font variant should be used by the
  text object

  Current behaviour:
  * DejaVu Sans BoldOblique displays what Sans Book
  displays in the preview and with the text object (see
  following cases)

  * with the ExtraLight font named ExtraLight:
    DejaVu Sans Book displays ExtraLight with the text
  object but correctly in the preview
    DejaVu Sans ExtraLigth displays Sans Book in the
  preview but correctly with the text object

  * changing the name of DejaVu ExtraLight to DejaVu
  Light in the source and producing new ttf file:
    DejaVu Sans Book displays ExtraLight all the time
  (both preview and with text object)

  * Applied font selection to a text object is not
  remembered (ExtraLight, Book and BoldOblique return to
  Book)
