Hi, I'm trying to find out what's going on with Nimbus Roman No9 L that always appears in bold face, see: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=278446 (poorly written, sorry) First I thought it was fontconfig fault but after further research I'm afraid I was completely wrong: ernest@tty2:~ $ fc-list ":family=nimbus roman no9 l" file family style /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n021024l.pfb: Nimbus Roman No9 L:style=Medium Italic /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n021004l.pfb: Nimbus Roman No9 L:style=Medium /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n021023l.pfb: Nimbus Roman No9 L:style=Regular Italic /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n021003l.pfb: Nimbus Roman No9 L:style=Regular It looks like fontconfig has no problem at all with this font, isn't it? However when I run gtk2fontsel (which is a simple font selection dialog I'm using to test this problem) and select successively every style of the font, only the medium (bold) style is used. So, for instance, I select "regular italic" but the one that show up is "medium italic". I see that gtk2fontsel only opens these files: ernest@tty2:~ $ lsof -p 2205 | grep pfb gtk2fonts 2205 ernest mem REG 3,7 96211 3567 /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n021024l.pfb gtk2fonts 2205 ernest mem REG 3,7 108822 3578 /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n021004l.pfb But now my limited technical skills are exhausted, likesay, I don't know what to do or look for at this point, so if anyone can give me a hint I'd really appreciate it. -- ernest That's all you need tae dae in life. Just be yourself, he'd tell me. It was the most difficult, challenging thing anybody ever asked of me. --Irvine Welsh's Glue.
