[Bug 744812] Re: FontConfig/Qt stack choke on Ubuntu Medium font meta-data (No medium in Inkscape and too bold in Qt apps)

[Björn Michaelsen]

Also note that any nontrivial patch there will affect all fonts in
rendered documents opening us to a lot of havoc, if our vendor patch
makes documents being rendered different (different font weight might
change pagebreaks, thus numbers of pages, manual (hardcoded) references
to pages or images -- esp. things like "last page") on Ubuntu than
everywhere else (Windows, OSX). Even if we would do it right, and
everyone else would do it work -- the users likely would not care, if it
destroys their crossplatform document fidelity (with the same major --
even minor).
