qtconfig showing that Roboto Black is selected.

Hi!

I'm using openSUSE Tumbleweed with MATE 1.12 desktop and Qt theme is set to GTK+.

After last snapshot, I switched the default font to Google's Roboto using `mate-appearance-properties`. I also changed it in KDE `systemsettings5`. However, I noticed that all Qt4 apps was showing a darker font. Then, when I tried to configure using `qtconfig`, it shows that the selected font was Roboto Black instead of Roboto Regular. I tried many things, but as far as GTK+ theme is selected, I could not change the font in `qtconfig` to Roboto Regular, which seems to be causing the problem.

I'm uploading three figures:

1) The qtconfig showing that Roboto Black font is selected;
2) A screenshot of kwrite, showing the correct font (Roboto Regular);
3) A screenshot of digikam, showing the wrong font (Roboto Black).

Here is additional information about my system:

Comment 5 Ronan Chagas 2015-12-13 23:53:01 UTC 
In the mean time, I fixed the problems by removing the Roboto-Medium* fonts. On other words, by deleting/moving the following files:

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/Roboto-MediumItalic.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/Roboto-Medium.ttf

and running fc-cache -vf
