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

Hi LAP

Many thanks for this. I did try as you suggested, and in fact the result is: style:font-name="Roboto" 
fo:font-style="regular"

:-(

Is there any way I can fix this potential bug myself? It is not such a big deal really, just 
somewhat annoying…

Many thanks

Jonathan

Hello, I have an issue with LibreOffice Writer:

Under Format -> Character -> Font, when I select
Family: Roboto
Typeface: Medium
Size: 11pt
Language: English (UK)

the font will show (and print) as Roboto Medium 11pt. So all is good.

However, when I save the document and then re-open it, the font no
longer shows as Medium but as Regular.

LibreOffice Writer files (.odt) are just a collection of XML files
and other files that have been "zipped" together.

Try to do the following.

1) Create a small Writer document, maybe one sentence, that is formatted
with Roboto Medium.

2) Save the file as "robo.odt" or whatever name you desire.  Save
into a temporary directory.

3) Then unzip the collection: unzip robo.odt

4) Among the unzipped files will be "content.xml."  Load this
file into a text editor or an XML editor and do a search for
the string "Roboto".  Associated with the second or third occurrence
of the string will be something like this:

style:font-name="Roboto" fo:font-style="medium"

If you do not see this or you see "regular" in place of "medium"
then LibreOffice is not saving correctly and it is possibly
a bug.

I don't have the Roboto fonts installed so I cannot test this
myself, but if you can then please report your findings.

LAP
