--- Comment #110 from Khaled Hosny <[email protected]> ---
The compatibility issue here is now fixed (bug 172647). Using extended font
families should now work the same on all platforms.

Loading old documents that using legacy font names (e.g. from old LibreOffice
on Windows) now up converts the fonts at load time to use typographic family
and subfamily names (e.g. DejaVu Sans Condensed with subfamily Regular becomes
DejaVu Sans with subfamily Condensed).

The up conversion happens only if the font is installed (if the font is not
installed, we don’t try to convert it as it would require heuristics that would
fail (for example, Arial Black is setup as an independent font family from
Arial, when we have the fonts we can know that, but if the font is not
installed such heuristic would group Arial Black under Arial family, then even
installing Arial Black will not help and the user will get a fallback font).

What remains is a font subfamily (or face) list in the toolbar and the sidebar,
as we only have this list currently in the Character dialog only.
