--- Comment #95 from Tobias Hemm <tobiasenthemmt at mailbox.org> ---
I have to partly relativize what I said above: The "stew" came from
inconsistencies in the font files. I have adjusted the attached image
accordingly.

But what holds true is that, depending on the locale setting, LO accesses
different information in the font files.
It seems that, with the USA setting, LO accesses the information behind
"family" in the "TTF Names", and with the German setting, LO accesses the
information behind "Preferred Family".

At the moment, the way it is done by the USA setting is better because, as
another bug report stated, LO can only handle a limited amount of font
weights/styles. What that leads to is that different optical sizes are simply
not shown and thus unusable.

Therefore, it needs to be done either the "USA way" or the "Scribus way".
Scribus seems to access "Preferred Family" too, but it can handle more font
weights and styles.
