No, i just want for the font to match correctly,
`fc-match "Isoveka Extrabold Extended Oblique"` should output
`iosevka-extrabold.ttc: "Iosevka" "Extrabold Extended Oblique"`
but it doesn't output that. It outputs `NotoSans-Regular.ttf: "Noto
Sans" "Regular"`, which is wrong since i do have that Iosevka font
installed.
Ah, got it. You set the wrong query string then. What you want to
would be:
$ fc-match ":full name=Isoveka Extrabold Extended Oblique"
Or
$ fc-match "Isoveka:style=Extrabold Extended Oblique"
Unfortunately none of these work correctly, they both output
`NotoSans-Regular.ttf: "Noto Sans" "Regular"` (the exact same output as
`fc-match "Isoveka Extrabold Extended Oblique"`).
Though I'm not sure what the real issue was then. I presume that you
wanted to reproduce your issue on some application with fc-match?
Yes, i'm working on GIMP (it relies on pango) and since current pango
doesn't support querying through psname i'm using fullname instead,
which works in some cases but in this case doesn't (in general if
fc-match outputs the correct font when given the fullname it will work
on pango).
The only way i'm getting the correct font is with
`fc-match ":postscriptname=Iosevka-Extrabold-Extended-Oblique"`
i just want the output of:
`fc-match "Isoveka Extrabold Extended Oblique"`
to be identical to the output of:
`fc-match ":postscriptname=Iosevka-Extrabold-Extended-Oblique"`
(because matching like this with the psname outputs the correct
font)
Really sorry that my previous question wasn't clear enough.
