Hi Giuseppe,

On m232 I did some quick test using a calc sheet where I wrote my
tests, but to me it seems that even if the UI now shows the different
styles, they are not yet displayed correctly.

E.g. if you choose DejaVu Serif Italic and DejaVu Serif Condensed Italic
on two lines of text, the Condensed one doesn't seem to use the right
font, seems still the same not condensed.

I had a deep look into the mysteries of svx/source/dialog/chardlg.cxx recently to find the root cause of all this. The styles WIDTHTYPE isn't stored in the dialog's SfxItemSet and thus isn't transported or used in the Writer engine or the edit engine. Fixing this whole chain requires many fixes in very old parts of framework and writer...

Besides, selecting DejaVu Serif Condensed, when you come back on the
same text you are shown DejaVu Serif Book.

See above. When the applications later come back to request the font style you selected (they forgot the WIDTHSTYLE!) then they'll to vcl it looks like they requested the regular styles.

The bought proprietary fonts instead on OOo works as follows:

Are the fonts you are referring to TTF-OpenType or PS-OpenType fonts? PS-OpenType fonts are not supported yet for PDF-subsetting, PSprinting or display on UNX platforms yet.

I hope there is some work going on here, right?

Work on typography doesn't seem to be a top priority, but I'm working on it if possible. So support for PS-OpenType fonts is getting better (see CWS otf01).
