Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: fontconfig
I installed Arial Narrow by copying the TTF files from my windows font
directory.
after running fc-cache -f, font dialogs show duplicate entries for each
style, but no narrow styles, see screenshot. Both duplicates select the
same variant.
gnome-font-viewer shows the fonts correctly, and display as style
"Narrow", for all 4 variants. For the regular arial fonts, the styles
are "Regular", "Bold", "Italic" and "Bold Italic"
Steps to reproduce:
- copy the fonts from the windows install:
$ cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype/other/
$ sudo cp /windows/C/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIALN*
- set correct permissions
$ sudo chmod 644 ARIALN*
- update font cache
$ fc-cache -fv
expected result:
font dialogs show regular and narrow variants for Arial, or a separate font
Arial Narrow
obtained result
font dialogs show duplicate entries for each style.
