[This is fontconfig 2.8, but looking into the README file of the
current git, I can''t find something related, so I suspect
it''s still
an issue.]
There is the font `dustismo_bold.ttf'' (from openSuSE''s
`free-ttf-font''
package). fc-scan gives the following output:
Pattern has 19 elts (size 32)
family: "Dustismo"(s)
familylang: "en"(s)
style: " Bold"(s)
stylelang: "en"(s)
fullname: "Dustismo Bold"(s)
[...]
I think that fontconfig should remove the superfluous space so that
the style is `Bold''.

I''ll take a look.

BTW what the real problem with it? it looks like fontconfig still deals with it as Bold though. -- Akira TAGOH

IMHO, FreeType should return the data in the font without interpretation, but...> BTW what the real problem with it? it looks like fontconfig still > deals with it as Bold though....FontConfig should normalize the data, thus I believe that trailing and leading whitespace should be removed. BTW, there isn''t a real problem; I''ve accidentally stumbled across this issue. Werner
