[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#733077: fonts-roboto: new upstream release of Roboto (1.2)

[BubuXP]

BTW with this new version now I got Thin that looks like Light, and
Regular looks like Black.

fc-query on those fonts to found the cause:

style: "Thin"
fullname: "Roboto Thin"
weight: 50

style: "Light"
fullname: "Roboto Light"
weight: 50

style: "Regular"
fullname: "Roboto Regular"
weight: 80

style: "Black"
fullname: "Roboto Black"
weight: 80

Different styles but equal weights.

I fixed the weights according to fontconfig standards with
80-roboto.conf and it works.

Here's the file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<!-- Fix Roboto v1.2 weights -->

<match target="scan">
        <test name="fullname" compare="eq">
                <string>Roboto Thin</string>
        </test>
        <edit name="weight" mode="assign">
                <int>0</int>
        </edit>
</match>

<match target="scan">

        <edit name="weight" mode="assign">
                <int>0</int>

                <int>210</int>
        </edit>
</match>

<match target="scan">
        <test name="fullname" compare="eq">
                <string>Roboto Black Italic</string>
        </test>
        <edit name="weight" mode="assign">
                <int>210</int>
        </edit>
</match>

</fontconfig>
