Hi alltogether,
I received the following bug report in debian's BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/340855. Althou it refers to 0.43pre2, I can reproduce this bug on my machine with 0.43. I did not submit it to the tracker since I am not sure if it is a problem with inkscape or the debian package, so my question is if someone can reproduce this bug.
Thanks for help,
Wolfi

Subject: Bug#340855: inkscape: Font dialog messes font style of FreeSans, FreeSans and FreeMono Reply-To: Kai-Martin <kmk(at)familieknaak(dot)de>, 340855@...499... From: Kai-Martin <kmk(at)familieknaak(dot)de> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <submit@...499...> Date: Sat, 26 Nov 2005 13:59:03 +0100 Resent-Sender: Debian BTS <debbugs@...499...>
Package: inkscape Version: 0.42.2+0.43pre2-1 Severity: normal
The font dialog messes the font style for some fonts. This is what happens with the various styles:
"Medium/Regular": The font style jumps to "Bold" when pressing the apply button. Make default sets the default font style to bold. Consequently the font actually used in the drawing is bold.
"Oblique/italics": No problem. "Bold": No problem.
"BoldOblique/BoldItalic": The font preview shows a regular style. The apply button sets the font used in the drawing to "regular".
This behavior is consitent with all three "Free" fonts (Free Mono, FreeSans and FreeSerif). Other fonts that also come in different styles (e.g. Sans or Courier) can be set as expected.
The font chooser of the gnome system (MainMenu/System/Settings/Fonts) seems to use the same font chooser dialog. Yet it does not suffer from the described symptoms.
