Select Non-Standard Font Style

I have a font style installed on my computer that doesn't fall under the Regular/Italic/Bold/Bold Italic list (it's "Light"). I couldn't find a way to select this style of the font from the drop-down menu (it only had the first 4 normal ones). It'd be nice if there was a way to select other styles for a font.

I had similar problem with font Ubuntu Mono which has four styles but I could choose only Bold and Bold Italic. When I deleted Bold styles from system I could choose Regular styles. So you can try to delete Regular font from system or install only Light styles of font. I tried your issue (font Ubuntu which is also Condensed and Light) and there are three different fonts called "Ubuntu", "Ubuntu Condensed" and "Ubuntu Light".

You have not shown these options (Bold Italic, Italic, Bold, Regular) for the font Ubuntu Mono?

No. Although I have four styles of Ubuntu Mono installed (and I can see them in Fonts), I can choose only Bold and Bold Italic. When I delete both Bold from Fonts I can choose all four types (included the deleted Bold). I tried the same at home and without problem, so I did it at home and bring XML files to work. So it is not necessary to solve it. Thanks.

I was able to get access to the Light font style by using a different computer that only had that style installed (and didn't have Regular, Bold, Italic, or Bold Italic). Not sure why it didn't work, but oh well, it worked out fine in the end.

If I manage to find any rhyme or reason to this issue, I'll be sure to update this!

If you find the source of this behavior, let me know. Thank you.
