Description marc1my2words2 2026-01-07 22:36:51 UTC 
SUMMARY
Development version of Krita (9ab54c8) with the new text tool will not properly change properties of existing text fields. As a side effect, .KRA project files utilizing bold and/or italicized text (authored in older development and production versions of Krita with the legacy text tool) do not display properly.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create text field using Text Tool
2. Click "Open Text Properties"
3. Set Font Family to "Arial"
4. Set Font Style between Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic
5. Uncheck "Synthesize Bold" and "Synthesize Slant"
6. Adjust Weight and Width.

OBSERVED RESULT
Text uses actual Italic, Bold, or Bold Italic glyphs as shown in the Windows font viewer. On adjusting Weight and Width, text switches between Narrow and Black.

EXPECTED RESULT
Text defaults to the Regular glyphs regardless of settings with "Synthesize Bold" and "Synthesize Slant" turned off.

Git commit 645ed3a967f9ecfc56e070d05d05a0c5e6fccd7b by Wolthera van Hövell tot Westerflier.

Pushed by woltherav into branch 'master'.

Fix selecting fonts whose full name is the same as their family name.

We are supossed to select based on the full name before the family name,
however, for the font "Arial", the full name of the regular font was the
same as the family name, meaning the family could not be selected.

We now only select on full name, if it is not the same as family name.
