[Bug 167353] Re: Fonts weight variants selection
0.91 improved the ability to select different font faces from the same
family. Since we rely on CSS styling for face selection there is a limit
to what we can support which still leads to some problems (e.g. not
being able to distinguish between Museo Sans Rounded 100 and 300 which
both map to 'Light'). The text tool bar shows the face name according to
CSS. Both the CSS and designer font face name is shown in the Text and
Font dialog.
Unless any other problems are found, this bug should be closed.

Title:
Fonts weight variants selection
Status in Inkscape: Vector Graphics Editor:
Confirmed
Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Inkscape's font selector displays the right fonts
Steps:
* install the snapshot of DejaVu with DejaVu Sans
ExtraLight:
http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Snapshots
* type some text in Inkscape 0.43
* open the font selection tool
Expected behaviour:
* each variant should be displayed in the preview
accordingly
* if applied, the font variant should be used by the
text object
Current behaviour:
* DejaVu Sans BoldOblique displays what Sans Book
displays in the preview and with the text object (see
following cases)
* with the ExtraLight font named ExtraLight:
DejaVu Sans Book displays ExtraLight with the text
object but correctly in the preview
DejaVu Sans ExtraLigth displays Sans Book in the
preview but correctly with the text object
* changing the name of DejaVu ExtraLight to DejaVu
Light in the source and producing new ttf file:
DejaVu Sans Book displays ExtraLight all the time
(both preview and with text object)
* Applied font selection to a text object is not
remembered (ExtraLight, Book and BoldOblique return to
Book)
