But requesting a language for the style does *not* work. Requesting an non-existing language for the style, e.g. "xx" or "de" (The styles of Arial have no German translation) results in an empty result. But requesting "en" or any other language where translations of the style exist doesn’t limit the result to the requested language. I guess it should, therefore this looks like a fontconfig bug to me. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

A font which had a more exotic style, say "Condensed" translated in many languages would probably show the problem reportedd here in Gnome as well. (Qt has problems with fonts with many styles anyway, see bug #369466 and bug 330658 for example). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
