[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#980230: fonts-allerta is proposing 2 font files but LibreOffice is proposing only one

[Serge Pouliquen]

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
b0b0b4e19b80cf1efe2074ac45066130 
/usr/share/fonts/opentype/allerta/allerta_medium.otf
46019393b8fc0cc3a55684c18ab36f4e 
/usr/share/fonts/opentype/allerta/allerta_stencil.otf
md5sum for official website
5c452f83f43801f04eff595b0e8a8835  allerta_medium.otf
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
