Ok, now this configuration works for 'Medium Italic' too (it was easier than I thought). Probably this is not a "full range" solution, but it surely fixed the problem in my case.
This bug is still present in Ubuntu or Saucy adopted the patches in this thread to fix it? In Debian it's still present and that means probably that upstream code hasn't merged those patches. ** Attachment added: "place this file in '/etc/fonts/conf.d/' or in '~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/'" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-family/+bug/744812/+attachment/3936742/+files/81-ubuntu.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/744812 Title: FontConfig/Qt stack choke on Ubuntu Medium font meta-data (No medium in Inkscape and too bold in Qt apps) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fontconfig/+bug/744812/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
