No problem, thanks for the suggestion!
What I expect to be the cause is that the attributes in @font-face, specifying
if a font is italic or not, are not supported. And they probably aren't
populated based on the TTF metadata either. But before I dive too deep, maybe
someone can prevent me from swimming in the wrong direction.

Hi David,
Which would assume that if I specify no keywords, then it should take the
normal version. It does not. Whatever version is loaded last is used.

Hi Tom,
I Believe in CSS, once you establish the family you can access the
sub-types via type keywords?
...via
-fx-font-weight: bold,bolder etc.
-fx-font-style: plain, italic
Cheers,
David

Addendum:
If I list the font families using Font.getFamilies() I get "Roboto Medium" once, given
that both TTF files are added using @font-face. But if I examine Font.getFontNames() I get separate entries
for "Roboto Medium" and "Roboto Medium Italic". Closer examination of the font loading
reveals that indeed each font has its own distinct name and some fonts shared the same family name. That
makes sense.
The thing is that in CSS -as far as I can see- fonts can only
accessed through its family name, not its own name.

I'm currently including Google's Roboto font in JFXtras and making it
easily available to other users. I noticed that the font-family attribute in font-face is
ignored, and you have to use the name as it is specified in the TTF file. I found
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8094516 which says "/Please note that all
@font‑face descriptors are ignored except for the src descriptor./" That pretty much
explains what is going on.
Now, Roboto comes in different styles, condensed, bold, etc, but also
italic. However, italic is a separate TTF file, so you have a Roboto-Medium.ttf and a
Roboto-MediumItalic.ttf. The name of the font inside these two TTF files is the same, so
when I use "font-family: 'Roboto Medium'" whatever ever font is defined last by
font-face is used, and the other is not accessible.
My question is: is the way Roboto does Italic, with the same
font name in the TTF file, a bug of Roboto, or is this common?
