Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
I installed the package fonts-allerta
I opened LibreOffice and tried to select allerta fonts.
According to my understanding, there are 2 fonts : Allerta Stencil and Allerta Regular.
When I sellect Allerta with Libre Office text is written with Allerta Stencil.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I didn't tried to rename font Family name with FontForge in order to have 2 different names. It may solve.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
Nothing at the moment

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Be able to select the 2 font in LibreOffice

Hi Serge

Thank you for your bug report. I'm able to reproduce the problem in
libreoffice as well as inkscape.

However there seems to be no problem with gedit(gnome) nor gnustep, see
these as reference:

Upstream is in Cc:, Matt, do you think you can do something about it?

Best regards,

Hi Serge,

I'm not familiar with this issue, but you can try downloading the original
files here: http://pixelspread.com/allerta/
There are two weights in a few different file types you can try

Hi,

I took time to make some tests with files from official website.
The problem is still present with libreoffice.
Is there a debian page about stuff to check when a font is not appearing
in font list ?

Debian files looks not up to date.
md5sum for debian files

md5sum for official website

5ded992908f415149c9de35c73adbf70  allerta_stencil.otf

I tried to open official otf files with font forge, I got a warning message:
This font contains both a kern table and a GPOS table.
   The kern table will only be read if there is no kern feature in GPOS
Warning: Mac and Windows entries in the name table differ for the
   Fullname string in the language English (US)
   Mac String: Allerta Medium
   Windows String: Allerta-Medium

I'm not a font specialist. Is it possible that there is any relation ?

Regards,
Serge

Hi Serge,

I don't think I can be much help here. I don't really have any experience
with font files in Libreoffice.

Best of luck with it

best,
Matt
