Description of problem: Picking DejaVu Sans Condensed gives DejaVu Sans Bold. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dejavu-lgc-fonts-2.13-1 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open gnome-font-properties 2. Select a font to change 3. Pick Family "DejaVu Sans" with style "Condensed" Actual results: The font picked is reported as being DejaVu Sans Condensed, but is actually DejaVu Sans Bold. Expected results: DejaVu Sans Condensed would be picked. Additional info: gnome-font-viewer /usr/share/fonts/dejavu-lgc/DejaVuLGCSansCondensed.ttf shows the correct font, so the file is right, but perhaps the mapping /etc/fonts/conf.d/59-dejavu-lgc-fonts.conf is wrong?

The sf link seems to be to an spam...
Can you update to the newest DejaVu version? We had a problem with some data in the font but they were fixed (don't remember which version). Also, try to run "fc-cache -f" once (as root and as your username), to make sure you're not having out of date cache problems.
Latest DejaVu full is in Fedora Devel and should install on FC6 However it also includes ligature glyphs that will trigger a bug in FC6 firefox
Nicolas, latest dejavu is 2.16, I'm just pushing it in rawhide. And the firefox bug is in rawhide, not FC6, right?
(In reply to comment #6) > Nicolas, latest dejavu is 2.16, I'm just pushing it in rawhide. Hey, in the brave new merged word both FC & FE are Fedora Devel now :=) > And the firefox bug is in rawhide, not FC6, right? IIRC you had a form of the bug even in FC6, that's why I froze my package versions for old releases
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point.
