Description
Here's a strange one... Using Ubuntu, it's impossible to select the "Regular" variant of the "Ubuntu" font in label properties. I can select Regular variants for other fonts (eg Arial), and other variants of the "Ubuntu" font, but everytime I select regular for ubuntu it just changes the dropdown box back to the previous setting.

Fix #9393, impossible to select 'regular' font style for labels
- While ostensibly fixes the issue, there is still a flaw with QFontDatabase.styleString() returning generic style names

I confirm problem on my system too.

Is it the default font in Ubuntu? If so I'd set the bug priority to High.
Btw. The same problem with DejaVu Sans on Debian. No way to select the regular variant (called Book here). Other DejaVu fonts work ok.

Yes - it's the default label font under Ubuntu. This isn't a regression, it happens with 2.0 as well.

Confirmed here on Mac, too. That is fixed, but I found a related issue with font 'named styles' and am working on a solution for it (for Qt < 4.8) before committing the fix. Still have to test on Windows, too.

Reopen issue if needed.
