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

"Medium" and "Stencil" are non-standard subfamily names. LibreOffice's font style
dropdown typically only recognizes standard styles (Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold                                                      Italic). Custom names like these are ignored by the style selector.                                                                                                                                                                                                       That's exactly why the family name fix is the right approach — giving "Allerta                                                       Stencil" its own family name is the only way to make it selectable in LibreOffice.
Or you switch to standard subfamilies.

Unfortunately, due to the Reserved Font Name we cannot fix this just for
Debian (while keeping the font name).
