--- Comment #65 from Thomas Linard <thlinard at gmail.com> ---
Test report with LibreOffice 6.0, macOS 10.12.6

Open-source fonts installed (in OTF version each):

EB Garamond version 1.0 (10 styles)
https://github.com/octaviopardo/EBGaramond12

Fira Sans version 4.2.3 (92 styles)
https://carrois.com/typefaces/FiraSans/

Overpass version 3.0.2 (16 styles)
http://overpassfont.org/

All fonts are correctly viewed in Font Book, TextEdit and Apple Pages (version
6.3.1). Fira Sans is presented as 3 families: Fira Sans, Fira Sans Compressed,
Fira Sans Condensed).

All fonts are (almost) correctly viewed in Microsoft Word 2016 for Mac (version
16.9.1). Fira Sans is presented as 5 families: Fira Sans, Fira Sans Eight, Fira
Sans Four, Fira Sans Hair, Fira Sans Two. But: Fira Sans Condensed Book (and
Italic) and Fira Sans Compressed Book (and Italic) are presented as Fira Sans
Condensed 350 and Fira Sans Compressed 350. Fira Sans Book is presented as Fira
Sans Book.

In LibreOffice 6.0.0:

EB Garamond: 4 styles are missing.
Medium
Medium Italic
SemiBold
SemiBold Italic

Fira Sans is presented as 3 families: Fira Sans, Fira Sans Compressed, Fira
Sans Condensed.

Fira Sans: 16 styles are missing.
Four
Four Italic
Hair
Hair Italic
Heavy
Heavy Italic
Medium
Medium Italic
SemiBold
SemiBold Italic
Two
Two Italic
Ultra 
Ultra Italic
Ultra Light
Ultra Light Italic

Fira Sans Compressed: 16 styles are missing.
Same as Fira Sans (except Ultra styles, unique to Fira Sans) + Fira Sans
Compressed Thin (and Italic)

Fira Sans Condensed: 14 styles are missing.
Same as Fira Sans (except Ultra styles, unique to Fira Sans)

Overpass: 2 styles are missing
Overpass Heavy
Overpass Heavy Italic

So, it seems that LibreOffice 6.0.0 on macOS effectively handles italics and
stretches, but fails on some weights, in both extremes of the spectrum and in
the middle.
