In the screen shot in comment #3 you can see that the Gnome font
selector lists all styles available for a certain font.
But the Qt3/4 and KDE font selectors list don’t list all styles as
defined in the font. Qt3/4 and KDE have preconceptions about which
styles may exist and try to map the styles which are really available
in the font on this predefined list. Therefore, Qt3/4 and KDE
don’t list all available styles and don’t display the style names
as they are defined in the fonts. Comparison of the style
names listed by KDE/Qt and the really available style names:
Listed by KDE/Qt: Real style names:
Light ExtraLight
Light Oblique (doesn’t really exist, autogenerated by
freetype)
Normal Book
Oblique Oblique
Bold Bold
Bold Oblique Bold Oblique
- Condensed,Book
- Condensed Bold,Bold
- Condensed Oblique,Oblique
I think it is not nice that Qt tries to map the style names onto a
predefined list. Because of that, style names may appear under a
different name than defined in the font (i.e. ‘Book’ appears as
‘Normal’) and unusual style names like ‘Condensed’ will be missing
completely.
