--- Comment #9 from LibreTraining <libretraining.tutori...@gmail.com> ---
Think I figured-out what is happening.

The upper font is the correct Open Sans Condensed Bold.

The lower font being displayed is the regular width Open Sans Italic.

Inkscape is embedding the font using the Typographic Family and Typographic
Subfamily.
Typographic Family: Open Sans
Typographic Subfamily: Condensed Light Italic

It appears that LibreOffice generally tries to use the Font Family rather than
the Typographic Family.

All of the regular width Open Sans fonts have "Open Sans" as the Font Family.
When I tested the Open Sans family a few days ago LO had all kinds of issues
with it trying display the correct fonts with the metadata supplied.

Many large font families display perfectly in LO.
Some are a complete mess.
Open Sans is a mess.
And which version of Open Sans you have makes a difference.
If you have the v1.10 from OpenSans.com some of the font have Ope Sans as the
Font Family, and there is a separate Open Sans Light family.
Same version from Font Squirrel.
The improved/ enhanced version 1.71 from Free OpenType Fonts has Open Sans as
the Font Family on all fonts which makes LO crazy.

Thinking of making a family that works properly in LO on all platforms.

So the bottom line is that the way Inkscape is identifying the font is
confusing LO. Take a look in the SVG file and you can see. And compare how
Inkscape is selecting fonts in a family in their interfaces vs. how LO is
selecting the same fonts in their interface.

I tested the Open Sans Condensed fonts in LO 6.1.0.3 x64 on Windows 7 x64.

LibreOffice selected the font like this
- Font Family: Open Sans Condensed
- Font Subfamily: Italic

Inkscape selected the font like this
- Typographic Family: Open Sans
- Typographic Subfamily: Condensed Light Italic

This is what is in the SVG file that LO does not understand.
So it picked what it thought was the correct font.
