Book & Extra Light missing regular typeface #83

Closed cheuk879 closed 4 years ago

cheuk879 commented 4 years ago

Per build 293 as shown in LO 6.3.0.4 on Windows 10 Pro: plrd-test-bold-lo-err-293

The same applies to all other fonts of Shimenkan. Notice 2 things:

  1. The bold typeface is missing for the Book & Extra Light families.
  2. The weight of Extra Light is even heavier than Light & the regular family.

Wonder if there's a typo in the build script. Will need a fix for v1.0.

Finding 1: ExtraLight-Regular & ExtraLight-Bold have same weight, both having a title of "Sapushan Extra Light Bold" in the font preview window:

plrd-test-bold-xlite-title-bold-293

And W10P actually thinks they are both of the family "Saphushan Bold":

plrd-test-bold-xlite-miss-reg-293

So the last 2 rows in the .odt image are actually both bold, i.e., regular is missing.

Finding 2: Book-Regular & Book-Bold have different weights, & font preview show correct titles:

plrd-test-bold-book-reg-title-293 plrd-test-bold-book-bold-title-293

However, for some reason Book-Regular is registered as "Book Semi Bold" in W10P:

plrd-test-bold-book-miss-reg-293

Likely due to this LO fails to recognise the 2 are linked & hence pressing ^B has no effect for row 2 in the doc.

Is wscript fetching an old version of .designspace?

I think we've got this fixed now. The problem is that to make Windows think that there are four different 'families' with regular & bold (rather than 8 weights of a single family) we have to do some tricks, and our tools were not getting it right. Please retest now with build 295 and let us know if everything is working properly for you.

It's working per build 296. Thanks!
