Description Nicolas Mailhot 2007-08-31 10:18:12 UTC

More and more fonts are available with more than the 4 legacy regular/italic/bold/bold italic styles (dejavu is such an example)

If you make such a font the default "Sans" "Serif" or "Monospace", however, only the  4 legacy styles will be exposed via the  "Sans" "Serif" or "Monospace" aliases (tested in GNOME's font selector)

Fontconfig should not filter styles in such a way.

Comment 1 Keith Packard 2007-10-25 14:54:05 UTC

This is not a fontconfig bug; the gnome font selector would have to convert the alias into a family name and then list that family to detect which styles were available.
