Description Roozbeh Pournader 2006-12-10 10:00:23 UTC 
Description of problem:
When I run the following command, I get DejaVu Bold as the answer, while I
should get DejaVu Regular/Book:

$ fc-match "DejaVu LGC Sans:style=Italic"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fontconfig-2.4.1-3.fc6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure DejaVu LGC fonts are installed
2. Run $ fc-match "DejaVu LGC Sans:style=Italic"
  
Actual results:
DejaVuLGCSans-Bold.ttf: "DejaVu LGC Sans" "Bold"

Expected results:
DejaVuLGCSans.ttf: "DejaVu LGC Sans" "Book"

Additional info:
Same happens on Rawhide with fontconfig-2.4.2-1.fc7. This may also have
something to do with this Debian bug:

Comment 1 Roozbeh Pournader 2006-12-10 12:46:07 UTC 
Apparently this is not DejaVu only and also happens with Utopia (from package
xorg-x11-fonts-Type1-7.1-2).

$ fc-match "Utopia:style=Oblique"

gives me:

UTBI____.pfa: "Utopia" "Bold Italic"

While it should either give me Regular or Italic.
Comment 2 Behdad Esfahbod 2006-12-12 20:48:50 UTC 
Ok, this is apparently an upstream bug now that it happens with all fonts.
