Can't install the Bold Italic version on Windows #49

Open jakubmarian opened 8 years ago

I have tried everything I can think of to install the Crimson font family into my Windows 10, but I can't seem to be able to install the Bold Italic font properly. Although the Crimson-BoldItalic.otf file gets copied into the Windows Fonts folder, I don't see the Bold Italic version when viewing the family in Windows Explorer (Control Panel\Appearance and Personalisation\Fonts\Crimson).

When I install Crimson-BoldItalic.otf separately, the name of the font family is shown as "Crimson BoldItalic", instead of "Crimson", which is what I see when I install the other variants.

Some programs, such as Photoshop, don't seem to mind and simply use the font anyway, but others (when generating a PDF in LibreOffice, for example) seem not to be able to work with the bold italic font.

Is there anything that could be done about that?

Thanks for reporting this @jakubmarian. Unfortunately I'm on Linux without a copy of Windows 10 handy, so I'm not in a position to test this :( Hopefully someone else can look into it?

Your nameID#2 (which is subfamily) is incorrect. The right one is “Bold Italic”, instead of “BoldItalic”. There is also no “Roman”. There is “Regular”.

And you are missing nameID#16 and 17 (Preferred family and style)

Whoa, can't say I was expecting a random visitor to come in and make this precise a diagnosis :) 多谢！
