            Bug ID: 132069
           Summary: Broken variable font support in Windows 10
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: lwchkg at gmail.com

Description:
1. the metrics of normal font is loaded for EVERY instance of the variable
font.
2. italics of instance other than normal and bold fails to load.

Note: this bug is related to Bug 103596, but this is not to call for supporting
advanced feature (e.g. non-standard thickness) in variable fonts. Before that
feature is added, we only need to handle the standard variations presented by
Windows 10.

As opposed to what bug 103596 says, the fonts are not displayed correctly even
in the screen.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install EB Garamond from Google Fonts
(https://fonts.google.com/specimen/EB+Garamond?vfonly&query=e&preview.text=control+flow&preview.text_type=custom&sidebar.open&selection.family=EB+Garamond:wght@400;700),
will attach font files.
2. Open the attached document.
3. Check against the sample screenshots.

Actual Results:
See description. Compare with the screenshot.

Expected Results:
See screenshot.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
