bold and italic styles missing from the Beteckna TTF font

[Antti Kaihola]

Binary package hint: ttf-beteckna

I installed the ttf-beteckna package in Lucid. Based on its contents, I expect it to contain five styles of the font:

$ dpkg -L ttf-beteckna|grep '\.ttf'
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/beteckna/BetecknaLowerCase.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/beteckna/BetecknaLowerCaseBold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/beteckna/BetecknaLowerCaseBoldCondensed.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/beteckna/BetecknaLowerCaseItalic.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/beteckna/BetecknaLowerCaseItalicCondensed.ttf

In OpenOffice, only BetecknaLowerCase is available in the font selection drop-down.

In The GIMP, the following are available:
BetecknaLowerCase Medium
BetecknaLowerCase Medium
BetecknaLowerCase Medium
BetecknaLowerCase Medium Italic
BetecknaLowerCase Medium Italic

All the duplicates also look the same on the screen, so this is not a naming issue.

In OpenOffice, the bold and italic buttons appear to change the font style, although I'm not a typography expert and can't verify that the styles look correct.

In Inkscape all the styles are visible in the font dialog, and Medium Italic appears to work correctly.
The bold styles do not affect most characters, but typing all possible characters from I can get with my keyboard layout, surprisingly, the following characters *do* appear in boldface: £þřœəĸš–žðŋµč
Also the euro-cent symbol in the example box of Inkscape's font selection dialog turns into boldface.
None of the ASCII letters, digits or symbols seem to exist in the bold styles.
