Created attachment 126149 [details]
"17 Regular" cannot be chosen at the typefaces section

Steps to reproduce:

1. Download and install the complete Latin Modern font package: http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern/download (second link)

2. Open LibreOffice Writer, write some text and try to apply the font "Latin Modern Roman 17 Regular"

Expected Result: The "Character Style" window should offer all subfonts provided by the font package (e. g. when choosing "Latin Modern Roman" as font family, you should be able to choose between "17 Regular", "10 Regular", "12 Regular", ... at the typefaces section)

Actual Result: The "Character Style" window looks like the attached screenshot. It offers only some of the installed fonts and there is no way to choose any other of the installed ones (e. g. "17 Regular").

Comment 7 ⁨خالد حسني⁩ 2023-02-24 16:26:44 UTC
The issue here is that the presence of optical sizes, so there is 8 regular styles, 8 bold styles, etc. but we don’t internally distinguish styles by font name but by their properties and we don’t (and can’t easily) take the optical size into account, so for LibreOffice 10 Regular is the same as 8 Regular, 14 Regular and so on.
