Any new info on font variants?

I am having issues with a number of my fonts not showing all of the installed variants in the Text and Font palette, and/or displaying one font variant on the canvas and listing another. I saw this tip viewtopic.php" onclick="readonly();return false;"inline-attachment">

Hello,

Might be related to this font-family issue:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=16600#p61549

Maybe requiring an edit of the problematic font properties.

I didn't delve into the properties edits, but maybe there are some clues there.

BTW, thanks for your posts on font creation, very helpful. :-)

Font variants (separate font files for each style of a font family) are not the same as Opentype layout features (alternate glyphs within the same font file) - Opentype layout features BTW have landed in trunk by now (as an update to that earlier comment).

The question is probably about fonts which use style names/definitions which don't map well to the (fewer) CSS weights used in CSS / SVG (thus multiple font variants getting assigned the same CSS weight - which one is actually used seems to depend on the file name of the fontfile, and the local collation order).

Some of the issues are e.g. discussed here:

@ ~suv
Sorry, my bad. I`ve made a swift search and pasted the wrong link afterwards.
