Screenshot of character formatting with Kallos ITC

I'm using Kallos ITC family and in this family six fonts exists:
Kallos ITC Book
Kallos ITC Book Italic
Kallos ITC Medium
Kallos ITC Medium Italic
Kallos ITC Bold
Kallos ITC Bold Italic

Linux shows the fonts as:

user12@pc:~$ fc-list | grep Kallos
Kallos ITC:style=Bold
Kallos ITC:style=Book
Kallos ITC:style=Medium
Kallos ITC:style=Bold Italic
Kallos ITC:style=Medium Italic
Kallos ITC:style=Book Italic

1) LibreOffice shows Kallos ITC Medium as Regular in font selection (picture)!
Strange!

2) If i create a textdocument with a text formatted as Kallos ITC Medium and Kallos ITC Medium italic and reopens in LibreOffice the charcater settings are reset to Kallos ITC Book
LibreOffice does not remmber the font settings.

Seems to be the same as openoffice bug from 2007: http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82986

Font pack can be send to tester for testing only if desired.
Comment 2 GwenDragon 2011-04-02 01:02:33 UTC
Bugfix is important.

LibreOffice should support komplex font families and handle the character formatting with thes fonts.
It would be useless for professionell office work with missing font support.

changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.

I can verify with another ITC OpenType font:

I have _many_ ITC fonts on my Ubuntu/Debian system (way too many to list here), and for the most part I can select them in LO (3.5.3.2)[1]. For example, if I select an ITC .otf font galliard:

$ locate galliard
/home/<user>/.fonts/galliard-black.otf
/home/<user>/.fonts/galliard-blackitalic.otf
/home/<user>/.fonts/galliard-bold.otf
/home/<user>/.fonts/galliard-bolditalic.otf
/home/<user>/.fonts/galliard-italic.otf
/home/<user>/.fonts/galliard-roman.otf
/home/<user>/.fonts/galliard-ultra.otf
/home/<user>/.fonts/galliard-ultraitalic.otf

As you can see, the only galliard fonts on this system are .otf.

In LO 3.5 (via Format|Character) I can select ITC Galliard:
Ultra
UltraItalic
Roman
Italic
Bold
Bold Italic
Black
Ultra Italic
Black Italic

I made a file with each font selection, took a screenshot & added it to the file, saved the file, closed LO and reopened LO and the file.

Before saving I noticed that the bolding seemed to be backwards (with bold selected the font appears normal, with bold unselected from LO icon the font appears bold).

After saving I noticed (in addition to the bolding) when checking Format|Charater:
- Italic changed UltraItalic
- Roman changed to Ultra
It is repeatable & I'll add a pdf and odt of the document.
