The following Ubuntu fonts are installed on my system:
/home/edwin/.fonts/Ubuntu-LI.ttf: Ubuntu,Ubuntu Light:style=Light Italic,Italic
/home/edwin/.fonts/Ubuntu-L.ttf: Ubuntu,Ubuntu Light:style=Light,Regular
/home/edwin/.fonts/Ubuntu-M.ttf: Ubuntu,Ubuntu Light:style=Medium,Bold
/home/edwin/.fonts/Ubuntu-BI.ttf: Ubuntu:style=Bold Italic
/home/edwin/.fonts/Ubuntu-RI.ttf: Ubuntu:style=Italic
/home/edwin/.fonts/Ubuntu-R.ttf: Ubuntu:style=Regular
/home/edwin/.fonts/Ubuntu-MI.ttf: Ubuntu,Ubuntu Light:style=Medium Italic,Bold Italic
/home/edwin/.fonts/Ubuntu-B.ttf: Ubuntu:style=Bold
Ubuntu Light is shown with two family names: Ubuntu and Ubuntu Light. In XeTeX I can select the font directly by naming Ubuntu Light, but I cannot do the same in matplotlib:
matplotlib.rcParams['font.family'] = 'Ubuntu Light'
Instead, I must use a more obscure (albeit more technically correct) method:
matplotlib.rcParams['font.family'] = 'Ubuntu'
matplotlib.rcParams['font.weight'] = 200
It would be convenient if Ubuntu Light could be addressed directly by its 'common' name.
