--- Comment #11 from Thomas Linard <thlinard at gmail.com> ---
Test report with LibreOffice 6.0.2, Linux Ubuntu 17.10

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 (92 styles)
https://bboxtype.com/typefaces/FiraSans/

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

All fonts are correctly viewed in Font Manager and Font Viewer.

In LibreOffice 6.0.2:

EB Garamond: 2 styles are missing.
Medium
Medium Italic

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

Fira Sans: 14 styles are missing.
Four
Four Italic
Hair
Hair Italic
Medium
Medium Italic
Thin
Thin Italic
Two
Two Italic
Ultra
Ultra Italic
Ultra Light
Ultra Light Italic

Fira Sans Compressed: 12 styles are missing.
Same as Fira Sans (except Ultra styles, unique to Fira Sans)

Fira Sans Condensed: 12 styles are missing.
Same as Fira Sans (except Ultra styles, unique to Fira Sans)

Overpass: all styles are displayed.

So, it seems that LibreOffice 6.0.2 on Linux effectively handles italics and
stretches, but fails on some weights, in both extremes of the spectrum and in
the middle. A very similar behavior is observed on macOS (and yet font handling
should be different). See bug 69254.
