Hi,
I just tried on Windows, LO 25.2.
downloaded Robot Fonts from Google fonts site. The zip file contains:
Roboto-Italic-VariableFont_wdth,wght.ttf
Roboto-VariableFont_wdth,wght.ttf
folder static with a lot of static roboto fonts
1) installed Roboto-VariableFont_wdth,wght.ttf which contains 18 font
tested with LO-Writer document -> no problems
2) uninstalled the previous fonts and instaled all fonts from the static
folder
tested tested with LO-Writer document -> no problems
Note: I did not see "Roboto Regular" in either case, just "Roboto" and
of course the other variants like medium -....
Regards
Helmut

Hi LAP
Many thanks for this. I did try as you suggested, and in fact the result is:
style:font-name="Roboto" fo:font-style="regular"
:-(
Is there any way I can fix this potential bug myself? It is not such a big deal
really, just somewhat annoying…
Many thanks
Jonathan

Hello, I have an issue with LibreOffice Writer:
Under Format -> Character -> Font, when I select
Family: Roboto
Typeface: Medium
Size: 11pt
Language: English (UK)
the font will show (and print) as Roboto Medium 11pt. So all is good.
However, when I save the document and then re-open it, the font no
longer shows as Medium but as Regular.
LibreOffice Writer files (.odt) are just a collection of XML files
and other files that have been "zipped" together.
Try to do the following.
1) Create a small Writer document, maybe one sentence, that is formatted
with Roboto Medium.
2) Save the file as "robo.odt" or whatever name you desire. Save
into a temporary directory.
3) Then unzip the collection: unzip robo.odt
4) Among the unzipped files will be "content.xml." Load this
file into a text editor or an XML editor and do a search for
the string "Roboto". Associated with the second or third occurrence
of the string will be something like this:
style:font-name="Roboto" fo:font-style="medium"
If you do not see this or you see "regular" in place of "medium"
then LibreOffice is not saving correctly and it is possibly
a bug.
I don't have the Roboto fonts installed so I cannot test this
myself, but if you can then please report your findings.
