Bold fonts after latest update

[lucazade]

with the latest update all the fonts in quantal kde are bold..

temporary workaround:
sudo rm /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-M.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-MI.ttf

No problems here, no fonts are appearing bold when they shouldn't. I'm using Lucida Grande as my main font, which I can just recommend, but the Ubuntu font looks fine, too: (click for bigger image)



I'm using "Slight" font hinting. (Never really liked how "Medium" looks.)

Besides, if you have problems with the font, it would be much better to temporarily switch to another font using systemsettings, rather than renaming the font file itself.
