Is there some more information I can provide to "debug" the problem ? I had the opposite problem: I cannot find the condensed variants in libreoffice 4.1.4.2 (Sid). It seems this is a widespread bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50855 I found a simple workaround for this (see attachment): using fontconfig, I made a new font family I called "Nimbus Sans L Condensed" to include the condensed variants and separate them from the normal "Nimbus Sans L" family. Place the attached file in a directory read by fontconfig (like /etc/fonts/conf.d/ for example), then rebuild font cache (with 'fc-cache -f'). I don't know why but libreoffice still won't display the changes, maybe it uses an internal font cache? I resolved the easy way by removing the ~/.config/libreoffice/ directory, but probably there's a better way to do this. The 'gsfonts' package maintainer could ponder the validity of this workaround and maybe including it in the package (or it's a fontconfig concern?). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
