Hello,

it seems to me, that the "Condensed" typeface is not honoured by Openoffice 
Writer 3.2.1 (OOO320m19 (Build:9505) / ooo-build 3.2.1.4) on Linux (Suse 11.3,
64 Bit)

E.g. I can see no difference between 
"DejaVu Sans Book" and "DejaVu Sans Condensed"
(see attached example)

If I look at the fonts using "kcmshell4 fontinst", I see differences between the
fonts. (Unfortunately the names are different (?) there)
(see attachment)

I have a report from a friend, that it works on Windows. (Using a different,
proprietary font)

I tried a whole bunch of fonts, but could not see a difference between the
"normal" and the "condensed" ones. 

Given the fact, that it works on Windows makes the problem uglier, because now 
e.g. some text arranged using tabs collides/overlaps on Linux (because it is not
condensed) but looks correct on Windows. (This is how the problem came up)

When searching for existing bug reports I came across the following ones:
26012 (Closed / Duplicate)
79878 (New, but seems to be concerned with missing typefaces)
80424 (Closed/Fixed; talks about fontwidth, which sounds like relevant)

Note: Openoffice Calc (mis)behaves in the same way, so this is probably a
general problem, but I didn't found the correct component for things like this -
please correct if needed.
