Created attachment 44709 [details] Screenshot of character formatting with Kallos ITC I'm using Kallos ITC family and in this family six fonts exists: Kallos ITC Book Kallos ITC Book Italic Kallos ITC Medium Kallos ITC Medium Italic Kallos ITC Bold Kallos ITC Bold Italic Linux shows the fonts as: user12@pc:~$ fc-list | grep Kallos Kallos ITC:style=Bold Kallos ITC:style=Book Kallos ITC:style=Medium Kallos ITC:style=Bold Italic Kallos ITC:style=Medium Italic Kallos ITC:style=Book Italic 1) LibreOffice shows Kallos ITC Medium as Regular in font selection (picture)! Strange! 2) If i create a textdocument with a text formatted as Kallos ITC Medium and Kallos ITC Medium italic and reopens in LibreOffice the charcater settings are reset to Kallos ITC Book LibreOffice does not remmber the font settings. Seems to be the same as openoffice bug from 2007: http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82986
Font pack can be send to tester for testing only if desired.
Bugfix is important. LibreOffice should support komplex font families and handle the character formatting with thes fonts. It would be useless for professionell office work with missing font support.
Same problem in 3.3.2

Bug still exists in: LOdev 3.5.0beta2 Build-ID: c3bcb31-760cc4d-f39cf3d-1b2857e-60db978 Tested on Ubuntu 11.04 x64
Problem exists on LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 Build-ID: 281b639-6baa1d3-ef66a77-d866f25-f36d45f Linux KUbuntu 11.04 x64
I can verify with another ITC OpenType font: I have _many_ ITC fonts on my Ubuntu/Debian system (way too many to list here), and for the most part I can select them in LO (3.5.3.2)[1]. For example, if I select an ITC .otf font galliard: $ locate galliard /home/<user>/.fonts/galliard-black.otf /home/<user>/.fonts/galliard-blackitalic.otf /home/<user>/.fonts/galliard-bold.otf /home/<user>/.fonts/galliard-bolditalic.otf /home/<user>/.fonts/galliard-italic.otf /home/<user>/.fonts/galliard-roman.otf /home/<user>/.fonts/galliard-ultra.otf /home/<user>/.fonts/galliard-ultraitalic.otf As you can see, the only galliard fonts on this system are .otf. In LO 3.5 (via Format|Character) I can select ITC Galliard: Ultra UltraItalic Roman Italic Bold Bold Italic Black Ultra Italic Black Italic I made a file with each font selection, took a screenshot & added it to the file, saved the file, closed LO and reopened LO and the file. Before saving I noticed that the bolding seemed to be backwards (with bold selected the font appears normal, with bold unselected from LO icon the font appears bold). After saving I noticed (in addition to the bolding) when checking Format|Charater: - Italic changed UltraItalic - Roman changed to Ultra It is repeatable & I'll add a pdf and odt of the document.

This might be related to the fact that we don’t handle fonts that has more than four styles R/B/I/BI quite well. But that is related to font selection not layout.
Indeed, LibreOffice doesn't handle fonts that has more than four styles R/B/I/BI quite well. I don't know for Linux, but Windows and macOS (since LO 4.1) use platform dependent handling. LibreOffice on Windows use traditional GDI handling, LibreOffice on macOS use CoreText (and, probably, incorrectly, as the styles names are localised). See my Bug 69881 for LibreOffice 4.1, still valid for 5.3. And the numerous duplicates of Bug 69254.

Even if this problem apparently is present on all platforms, the actual font enumeration code is still platform-specific, so separate fixes might well be needed for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
The font enumeration and UI aspect is just one part of the issue. What apparently hasn't been taken into consideration at all in the comments above is how to handle the "extra" styles in the document formats, in a backward-compatible way, so that the document wouldn't break horribly if opened in another application reading the same format, or in an older version of LibreOffice. Far from trivial.
But the documents are already "breaking horribly" because of platform-specific handling…
Actually, I take my previous comment back. It was pointed out to me that even if the toolbar just has a typeface selector and the B and I buttons, in the right-click:Character...:Font dialog there is a separate "Style" selector (sadly called "Typeface" on the Mac), and with that one can select any of the styles the typeface is available in. For instance, for the Overpass typeface, "Thin Italic". See my further comments in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69254#c32

Created attachment 153410 [details] Screenshot of Style Editor showing the wrong font variant name This dialogue belongs to the Heading 2 style, but that is probably unimportant
LibreOffice 6.2.5.2, Ubuntu Linux 19.04: After adding the Futura font to my system and refreshing the font cache, only the general font name 'Futura' appears in the font selection dropdown in the main UI of Writer. Not the variant weights (see below) A .docx-file featuring the Medium font weight, seems to convert the sections using the Medium variant to the Condensed ExtraBold variant. I have not tested what happens if another File Format is used to save the file. When I open the style editor to edit the Heading 2 style, I do see the weights, but one of the variants has the wrong name. Variants in Font: - Medium - Condensed Medium - Condensed ExtraBold - Italic Variants shown in Style Editor (see screenshot) - Condensed Medium - 中黑 - Condensed ExtraBold - Italic Note that my default language is English The two Chinese characters are Zhong Hei (middle black), which might translate to 'Medium Black'. I'm no expert in Chinese, so I can only take a guess. Thank you in advance for fixing this annoying bug.
