Description Sebastian Schubert 2011-08-17 19:57:28 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

I want to use the font installer in systemsettings to install a font family including different optical sizes. Only one optical size is installed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
For simplicity, I describe the procedure only for Roman regular and Roman subhead.

Open font installer in systemsettings.
Click add fonts.
Choose Regular and Subhead font.
Personal or system wide does not matter. I choose personal.
I get an error that Regular is already installed.
Only one font is installed


Actual Results:  
Only one font is installed.
$ ls .fonts/a/
AJensonPro_Regular.otf

Expected Results:  
Two fonts are installed, the regular and the subhead. XeLaTeX with the fontspec can take advantage of a manual installation with fc-cache. An install which XeLaTeX can use is expected from the font installer.

Font information using otfinfo from lcdf typetools:
