Granted, it works for say DejaVu LGC condensed, but does not for Arial Narrow (the condensed glyphs are to be found in separate files, copied over from XP install into .fonts). fc-list outputs the following: [jsikorski@snowball ~]$ fc-list | grep Arial Arial Black:style=Normalny,Normal,obyčejné,Standard,Κανονικά,Regular,Normaali,Normál,Normale,Standaard,Обычный,Normálne,Navadno,Arrunta Arial,Arial Narrow:style=Normalny,Narrow,Normal,obyčejné,Standard,Κανονικά,Regular,Normaali,Normál,Normale,Standaard,Обычный,Normálne,Navadno,Arrunta Arial:style=Pogrubiona kursywa,Negreta cursiva,tučné kurzíva,fed kursiv,Fett Kursiv,Έντονα Πλάγια,Bold Italic,Negrita Cursiva,Lihavoitu Kursivoi,Gras Italique,Félkövér dőlt,Grassetto Corsivo,Vet Cursief,Halvfet Kursiv,Negrito Itálico,Полужирный Курсив,Tučná kurzíva,Fet Kursiv,Kalın İtalik,Krepko poševno,nghiêng đậm,Lodi etzana Arial,Arial Narrow:style=Pogrubiona kursywa,Narrow,Negreta cursiva,tučné kurzíva,fed kursiv,Fett Kursiv,Έντονα Πλάγια,Bold Italic,Negrita Cursiva,Lihavoitu Kursivoi,Gras Italique,Félkövér dőlt,Grassetto Corsivo,Vet Cursief,Halvfet Kursiv,Negrito Itálico,Полужирный Курсив,Tučná kurzíva,Fet Kursiv,Kalın İtalik,Krepko poševno,Lodi etzana Arial:style=Kursywa,Cursiva,kurzíva,kursiv,Πλάγια,Italic,Kursivoitu,Italique,Dőlt,Corsivo,Cursief,Itálico,Курсив,İtalik,Poševno,nghiêng,Etzana Arial:style=Normalny,Normal,obyčejné,Standard,Κανονικά,Regular,Normaali,Normál,Normale,Standaard,Обычный,Normálne,Navadno,thường,Arrunta Arial,Arial Narrow:style=Pogrubiony,Narrow,Negreta,tučné,fed,Fett,Έντονα,Bold,Negrita,Lihavoitu,Gras,Félkövér,Grassetto,Vet,Halvfet,Negrito,Полужирный,Fet,Kalın,Krepko,Lodia Arial:style=Pogrubiony,Negreta,tučné,fed,Fett,Έντονα,Bold,Negrita,Lihavoitu,Gras,Félkövér,Grassetto,Vet,Halvfet,Negrito,Полужирный,Fet,Kalın,Krepko,đậm,Lodia Arial,Arial Narrow:style=Kursywa,Narrow,Cursiva,kurzíva,kursiv,Πλάγια,Italic,Kursivoitu,Italique,Dőlt,Corsivo,Cursief,Itálico,Курсив,İtalik,Poševno,Etzana [jsikorski@snowball ~]$ Gtk2 font selector gets confused and shows each of the 4 basic styles twice (see attachment), with no visible difference whatsoever. The only application I have found to be able to distinguish between the Narrow and normal styles is the KDE's system settings > installed fonts thingy (also see attachment) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fontconfig-2.5.0-2.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install microsoft core fonts using an rpm package 2. copy over arian{n,ni,nb,nbi}.ttf from a windows installation 3. run fc-cache 4. attempt to select one of the narrow glyphs in the font selector Actual results: Narrow glyphs are unavailable Expected results: Able to select narrow glyphs Additional info: Feel free to reassing this bug, I wasn't sure what to assign it to Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/475889/comments/7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2008-10-12T18:13:05+00:00 Julian wrote: Created attachment 320147 KDE System Settings aware of the Narrow glyphs Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/475889/comments/8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2008-10-12T18:37:14+00:00 Julian wrote: This might be relat Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/475889/comments/9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2008-10-12T18:38:20+00:00 Julian wrote: This might be related to the mentioned freedesktop bug, but since there was no response in 4 months, I thought that filing it here as well might be a good idea.

Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

I think the problem might be related to localised names of the narrow font. With LANG=C shown above, the errors are different. Font selection will yield the following (from the top): 4 times narrow, normal, italic, bold and bold italic. Narrow italic, narrow bold and narrow bold italic are still MIA. It's a little improvement over pl_PL locale, but far from a working solution nontheless.

Both duplicates select the same variant. gnome-font-viewer shows the fonts correctly, and display as style "Narrow", for all 4 variants. For the regular arial fonts, the styles are "Regular", "Bold", "Italic" and "Bold Italic" Steps to reproduce: - copy the fonts from the windows install: $ cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype/other/ $ sudo cp /windows/C/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIALN* - set correct permissions $ sudo chmod 644 ARIALN* - update font cache $ fc-cache -fv expected result: font dialogs show regular and narrow variants for Arial, or a separate font Arial Narrow obtained result font dialogs show duplicate entries for each style.
