Summary:
One particular combination of fonts isn't appearing in my OpenOffice.org
font selector, even though all its variant forms are.
In the font selector (for the paragraph style) I select "DejaVu Sans"
for the font. The list of typefaces I am presented in the middle column
is then:
ExtraLight
Book
Condensed Oblique
Bold
Bold Oblique
but not simply Condensed. However, I do have that font/typeface
installed. How can I get at it?
Details:
I am running OpenSuSE 10.3 and OpenOffice 2.3.0.1.2 from the OpenSuSE
package set OpenOffice_org-*-2.3.0.1.2-10.3. I have installed the
DejaVu TrueType fonts from the SuSE package dejavu-2.19-14 and I have no
reason to believe they are incorrectly installed.
The font files installed are these:
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSans-BoldOblique.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSans-ExtraLight.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSans.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSansCondensed-BoldOblique.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSansCondensed-Oblique.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSansMono-BoldOblique.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSansMono-Oblique.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSansMono.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSerif-Bold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSerif-BoldItalic.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSerif-Italic.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSerif.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSerifCondensed-Bold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSerifCondensed-BoldItalic.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSerifCondensed-Italic.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSerifCondensed.ttf
Note, specifically, that this includes the sans serif standard and
condensed fonts:
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSans-BoldOblique.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSans-ExtraLight.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSans.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSansCondensed-BoldOblique.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSansCondensed-Oblique.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf
Both standard and condensed forms are visible to my X server:
$ xlsfonts -fn '-*-dejavu sans-*-*-*--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-*'
-misc-dejavu sans-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-standard
-misc-dejavu sans-bold-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-standard
-misc-dejavu sans-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-standard
-misc-dejavu sans-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-standard
-misc-dejavu sans-medium-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-standard
-misc-dejavu sans-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-standard
$ xlsfonts -fn '-*-dejavu sans condensed-*-*-*--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-*'
-misc-dejavu sans condensed-bold-i-semicondensed--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-standard
-misc-dejavu sans condensed-bold-o-semicondensed--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-standard
-misc-dejavu sans condensed-bold-r-semicondensed--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-standard
-misc-dejavu sans
condensed-medium-i-semicondensed--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-standard
-misc-dejavu sans
condensed-medium-o-semicondensed--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-standard
-misc-dejavu sans
condensed-medium-r-semicondensed--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-standard
So "condensed oblique" is making it through OO.o but "condensed",
"condensed bold" and "condensed bold oblique" aren't.
I would have expected OO.o to have offered me either an extra font
("Deja Vu Sans Condensed" alongside "DejaVu Sans") or to have offered me
the single font with nine typefaces ("ExtraLight", "Book", "Bold",
"Oblique", "Bold Oblique", "Condensed", "Condensed Bold", "Condensed
Oblique", "Condensed Bold Oblique"). Instead I get a glimpse of a
single condensed typeface, but not the rest. It's truly bizarre.
I have root access to my system if required and I'm not afraid to
experiment. Suggestions welcome.
