Summary: Font variants not used correctly
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=706559
Summary: Font variants not used correctly Product: Fedora Version: 15 Platform: Unspecified OS/Version: Unspecified Status: NEW Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Component: fontconfig AssignedTo: behdad@fedoraproject.org ReportedBy: dwmw2@infradead.org QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: behdad@fedoraproject.org, pnemade@redhat.com, fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org Classification: Fedora Story Points: ---
I have installed some company-provided fonts for use in presentations etc.:
$ ls /usr/share/fonts/neo-sans-intel/ NeoSansIntel-Italic.ttf NeoSansIntel-MediumItalic.ttf NeoSansIntel-LightItalic.ttf NeoSansIntel-Medium.ttf NeoSansIntel-Light.ttf NeoSansIntel.ttf
In LibreOffice I have a choice of three separate fonts: Neo Sans Intel, Neo Sans Intel Medium, and Neo Sans Intel Light.
For each of those three, the italic version of the font (from the separate TTF file) is used. I can tell by the tail on the 'f' character. For bold text, however, an 'emboldening' algorithm seems to be used instead of using the appropriate separate font file.
In GNOME font selection dialogs, I see just one 'Neo Sans Intel' family, with a choice of 8 styles. I'll ignore the italic versions since those do actually seem to work as expected, so there are four weights listed: - Light (== Neo Sans Intel Light) - Regular (== Neo Sans Intel Medium) - Medium (== Neo Sans Intel Medium) - Bold (== Neo Sans Intel Medium + emboldening algorithm?)
I *don't* seem to have an option in GNOME which will just use the straight 'Neo Sans Intel' font.
So both seem to be getting it wrong, in different ways. Or perhaps there's something wrong with the fonts themselves?
