Unassigned

Bug Description

1. Go to Kubuntu control panel, font menu.
2. Click "Adjust All Fonts"
3. Click to enable choosing a font
4. Choose URW Gothic L
5. Press OK
6. Observe that the font show is bold

If you try to also choose Font Style in the dialog and choose Light this does not help. The workaround is to choose the font for each category of use and select light.

Changing this to the gsfonts-x11 package as we determined on IRC that this isn't related to System Settings. After looking through the gsfonts-x11 package, I didn't notice an alias for 'gothic l-light', just the other 4. If someone with font experience can look this over, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
