The Mandriva fix appears reasonable to me because it makes the
condensed font selectable in many applications where it currently
cannot be used at all.
As the screen shot in comment #17 shows, the font can be selected
in GTK2 and it also can be selected in applications where you
can give the full fontconfig specification like
xfd -fa "Nimbus Sans L:style=Regular Condensed Italic"
But it cannot be selected in
KDE3/Qt3
KDE4/Qt4
OpenOffice
Webpages
... probably many others ...
because most applications (unfortunately) offer only the basic four
styles “Regular”, “Italic”, “Bold”, and “Bold Italic”.
Therefore, I think the Mandriva fix to move the “Condensed” in
the family name is useful.
