According to
https://www.collaboraoffice.com/community-news/recent-mac-specific-fixes-in-libreoffice/
the bug is gone. So, I did my tests again: in reality, nothing has changed.


Test report with LibreOffice 6.1 Beta 2, macOS 10.13.5

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

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

Fira Sans version 4.3.1 (92 styles)
https://github.com/bBoxType/FiraSans

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

All fonts are correctly viewed in Font Book, TextEdit, Apple Pages (version
7.1) and Microsoft Word 2016 for Mac (version 16.14.1). Fira Sans is presented
as 3 families: Fira Sans, Fira Sans Compressed, Fira Sans Condensed).

In LibreOffice 6.1.0 Beta 2:

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 6.1.0 Beta 2 on macOS effectively handles italics
and stretches (nothing changed), but still fails on some weights, in both
extremes of the spectrum and in the middle (nothing changed).

I think the same test on Linux will still gives very similar results. See bug
98596.
