Gnome-Specimen gets confused between different weights of the same font, displaying the wrong one. For a font-testing/specimen program this is sub-optimal.
This will likely turn out to be related to bug #744812 ("FontConfig/Qt stack choke on Ubuntu Medium font meta-data (No medium in Inkscape and too bold in Qt apps)"), but provides a nice, easy, reproducible test-case using the advanced multi-weight typeface available in:
http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/ttf-ubuntu-font-family or:
http://font.ubuntu.com/
To reproduce:
1. Select and expand "Ubuntu" from the list of font family names
2. Choose "Medium"
3. Choose "Bold"
What happens:
3. For both Ubuntu Medium and Ubuntu Bold the same specimen is displayed
What should happen:
3. Medium should show a specimen for Ubuntu Medium, and Bold should show a specimen for Ubuntu Bold. |
