Style and family

Two of the fonts I use, Linux Libertine and Fontin, come with small
capitals variants. Unlike bold and italic, or DejaVu's condensed, these are treated as separate fonts. I wanted them to be treated correctly as variants, so I altered the font info: Family: Linux Libertine Capitals > Linux Libertine Style: Regular > SmallCaps OpenOffice, and other programs, then stoped treating the font as separate (it no longer showed up in the font menus) but OO does not list the new variant alongside italic and bold. Can anyone explain what's going on here? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Those names probably need to go in the "Preferred Family" and "Preferred Subfamily" name fields, but don't be surprised if your software is extremely broken in handling of font names. Meanwhile, OO may be using the OS/2 fields to distinguish weight and width. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
