The "Text and Font" dialog is currently displaying incorrect "Style" information (v 0.48.2 r9819 on Arch Linux). The attached fonts, purchased from a professional font foundry, have the available styles "100", "300", "500", 700", "900", "1000". Instead, styles named "Normal", "Heavy", "Light", "Italic", "Bold", "Semi-Bold", and "Bold Italic" are listed. Thus, access to at least one of the styles is prevented by Inkscape. Furthermore, the italic variants are 'forced' and not intended by the font's designer.
The appropriate fix would be to list the styles "100", "300", "500", 700", "900", "1000" as intended by the font's designer. Italicized variants should not be included in the "Styles" list so that the user understands that the font was not intended by the designer to be italicized. For comparison, the gtk/gnome application "font-manager" http://code.google.com/p/font-manager/ displays the appropriate styles, though it also incorrectly lists the unintended variants "Italic" and "Bold Italic". ** Attachment added: "ZIP containing fonts referred to in comment." https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/165521/+attachment/2561875/+files/MuseoSansRoundedSet.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to a duplicate bug report (36876). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/165521 Title: font variants information ignored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/165521/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
