Comment 0 for bug 813373

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.
