Bug ID: 152396
Summary: Variable font: variants are not correctly selected
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.0.0 alpha1+

OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium

Tested with Junicode Two Beta VF variable font

on
Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 2b4d136b65bc79a1248876160e85fab79d52d5d6
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.14; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)
Locale: es-ES (es_ES.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded
With Junicode Two Beta VF, a variable font, LibreOffice offers 34 different
styles, but many of them fall back into a few ones that are not necessarily the
correct ones.
For example: regular, expanded, semicondensed, semicondensed light,
semiexpanded all fall back to "condensed" when reopening the style/direct
formatting; expanded medium and others go to condensed medium; etc.
Also, comparing the variable font with the static version, the font names used
by LibreOffice are wrong: what in the VF is called "condensed" in reality
correspond with "semiexpanded" for the static font.
Note: I tested with Junicode Two Beta because it offers both, the variable and
the static version of the font so it's easy to compare. Also, despite being in
beta state, I tested the font with https://bulletproof.italic.space/ and it
works as intended.
