Re: [libreoffice-users] Roboto (originally no subject)

Hi,

I just tried on Windows, LO 25.2.

downloaded Robot Fonts from Google fonts site. The zip file contains:
    Roboto-Italic-VariableFont_wdth,wght.ttf
    Roboto-VariableFont_wdth,wght.ttf
    folder static with a lot of static roboto fonts

1) installed Roboto-VariableFont_wdth,wght.ttf which contains 18 font
    tested  with LO-Writer document -> no problems

2) uninstalled the previous fonts and instaled all fonts from the static
folder
    tested tested  with LO-Writer document -> no problems

Note: I did not see "Roboto Regular" in either case, just "Roboto" and
of course the other variants like medium -....

Regards
Helmut
