Not seeing the issue in libreoffice 6.0.3 on ubuntu 18.04. "Vollkorn" is
listed in libreoffice writer's font list as a unique font (see attached
screenshot). I guess the issue was fixed since then.

Title:
  Font family (fonts-vollkorn) appearing as multiple fonts in
  LibreOffice

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In LibreOffice (at least writer and calc), Vollkorn appears in the font list 
as "Vollkorn Regular", "Vollkorn Bold", etc.
  If "Vollkorn Regular" is selected as the font, then made bold/italic, it uses 
a faux bold/italic, instead of the proper font version.

  That's the basic problem - here's some additional info:

  The font works as expected (appears as "Vollkorn", uses e.g. Vollkorn-
  Bold when made bold) in other applications, such as Inkscape. The
  files also appears as expected (e.g. Name: Vollkorn, Style: Regular)
  in Font Viewer.

  This problem does not occur in LibreOffice with other true type fonts
  (eg. Liberation Serif and many others)

  Manually entering "Vollkorn" as the font name in LibreOffice makes the
  font work as expected when made bold and/or italic, but the basic font
  does not show correctly (it shows as a default sans-serif font
  instead). This makes me think something might be wrong with Vollkorn-
  Regular.ttf specifically?

  This occurs whether I install the fonts-vollkorn package, or download
  it from elsewhere (e.g. google fonts) and install it using Font
  Viewer, or by manually putting it in my .fonts folder or
  usr/share/fonts.
