--- Comment #13 from Marc Balmer <marc at msys.ch> ---
The problem with the Cooper Hewitt OpenType font is that it comes in many
variants, Light, Thin, Medium, Book, SemiBold, Bold, Heavy and each variant
also has an Italic font cut.

They all have the same font family name, Cooper Hewitt.  The font weights and
style indications in the fonts are not correctly setup as well.  But the real
problem is the font family name.  LibreOffice seems only to be able to handle a
regular, italic, bold, and, bild italic variant of a font family.

As a workaround I create a font familiy for each of the above mentioned font
cuts, giving the italic variant the italic style indication, but the same font
family name.  This way LibreOffice sees each of the 7 variants as it's own font
family and they work.

I keep the bug open, since it is still a bug that LibreOffice can only handle
four variants per family, and especially it should not display the font name in
such a garbled form.

For the curious, I used FontForge to do the font work.
