Found one -- "apt install ubuntu-font".

I chose "Ubuntu Regular" and "Ubuntu Medium":

Weight: 400, symbol normal
Weight: 500, symbol semi-bold

And: Added wrinkle: In Emacs, the "Regular" font is heavier than the
"Medium" font (but they're not in the Gtk selector).

This is all very confusing.

If I say

emacs -Q -fn "Ubuntu:weight=regular" 
emacs -Q -fn "Ubuntu:weight=medium" 

I get the more expected result (i.e., identical display in Emacs since
we map both of these to the same thing in other parts of Emacs).
