            Bug ID: 97081
           Summary: Condensed variants of DejaVu Sans and Serif no longer
                    work
           Product: DejaVu
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Sans

Last week my Debian system upgraded the DejaVu font packages from version
2.35-1 to 2.36-1. Afterwards I noticed that in LibreOffice, any text using
Dejavu Sans Condensed had become invisible, as if it was white text on a white
background (which it wasn't). The same applies to Dejavu Serif Condensed. All
other fonts are working fine.

This might be a bug in LibreOffice, which was upgraded at the same time.
However, I don't think that's the case, because I tried to type some text in
GIMP using both DejaVu Sans (Book) and DejaVu Sans Condensed, and the latter
didn't seem condensed at all. Instead, both fonts looked identical. I also
found out that in Mousepad's font selector window, not only Sans Condensed, but
also its Oblique, Bold and Bold Oblique variants, appeared identical to Sans
Book.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start LibreOffice Writer or Calc.
2. Select Dejavu Sans Condensed or Serif Condensed. Type some text.
3. What happens is that the cursor moves on the page, but no text appears.

I'll be happy to provide more information as needed.

OS:
Debian stretch, Linux 4.6.0-1-amd64

Packages:
fonts-dejavu-core 2.36-1
fonts-dejavu-extra 2.36-1
libreoffice 1:5.1.5~rc1-1
