            Bug ID: 123954
           Summary: Regression: Font drop-down now only showing font name,
                    instead of font name and style (/weight) as in
                    previous versions.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.7.3 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: phillip at phillipthomas.co

Description:
I have moved from Linux Mint 17.1 with LibreOffice 4.2.8.2 to Linux Mint 19.1
with LibreOffice 6.0.7.3 which is the current version in the Linux Mint
repositories.  I have also installed the flatpak version 6.2.0.3 of LibreOffice
to confirm that the issue remains in a later version.

On the LO 4.2.8.2 system I have three ttfs installed - Gotham-Rounded-Bold.ttf,
Gotham-Rounded-Book.ttf and Gotham-Rounded-Medium.ttf.  Each is a variant of
font weight for the same font family/name.  In LO 4.2.8.2 three fonts are
listed in the font drop-down - one for each variant.

Installing the same three ttf files in LM 19.1, running LO 6.0.7.3 (and
6.2.0.3), only "Gotham Rounded" is listed in the font drop-down.  It appears to
be the bold weight variant of the font if I select it.

I can confirm that the issue remains if OTF font files are installed instead of
TTF files.  I can also confirm that all three font variations appear in the
font selection drop-downs in another non-LO application (GIMP).

LO 6.0.7.3 (and 6.2.0.3) functionality has regressed when compared with
4.2.8.2.

Steps to Reproduce:
Install the three font files, either TTF or OTF - available from
https://www.wfonts.com/font/gotham-rounded
1. Using LO 4.2.8.2, say writer or calc, click on the font drop-down in the
toolbar. Note that three variants of the Gotham Rounded font are available.
2. Using LO 6.0.7.3 (or 6.2.0.3), again writer or calc, click on the font
drop-down in the toolbar. Note that only one entry for the Gotham Rounded font
is available.
3. The single font available appears to be the Bold weight variant, perhaps
because it is first alphabetically?
4. It is not possible for the user to select an alternative font weight for the
Gotham Rounded font for use.
5. Our company style sheet uses different weights of the same font in documents
for different elements (such as headings and body text).

Actual Results:
In LO 6.0.7.3 (and 6.2.0.3) only one entry appears in the font drop-down.

Expected Results:
In LO 4.2.8.2 three entries appear in the font drop-down, one for each font
weight of the installed font.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
This would appear to be a regression issue between LO 4.2.8.2 and LO 6.0.7.3.
