Presentation with text in three variants of OpenSans
One of the main problems of font handling in LibreOffice is the poor support
for font family variants beyond R/I/B/BI (bug 35538 and many related bugs
linked from there). One aspect of this support is the splitting of variants
into separate font "families" in font selection UI. Example: "Open Sans Light",
"Open Sans Semibold" - both variants of the "Open Sans" family, with different
entries in the list of font families.
Now, when one selects some text in the same font family, but with some of the
text being, say, Italic, and the rest being Roman (non-Italic) - the font
family box shows the family name. But if one selects some text in the Open Sans
family, some of which being Light and the rest being Semibold - the font family
box shows noting, as though you'd selected text from different font families -
even though you haven't.
I would like, even if we don't have proper UI for working with weights and
other variants, to at least see the common single font family when making such
selections.
Attaching a document with text in the three variants mentioned. You can get the
Open Sans fonts from here: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Open+Sans
