Description Xavier 2005-05-08 20:01:52 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I use Gimp on MacOs 10.3.5. 
I try to select some font in the text Tool. But most of the font variants are
not  available.  

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open document
2. Click on the T tool
3. Click on the Aa button
4. Browse the font list


Actual results:
Most of the fonts appears without any font variants.
Helvetica is without font variant. Arial does not appear, but Arial Black and
Arial narrow are displayed. Sans Bold and Sans Italic are present, but the font
are not bold.

Expected results:
Helvetica should be followed by Helvetica Bold and Hevetica Italic. 
Arial, Arial Bold, Arial Italic should be available.
Sans Bold should create bold characters.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
I use X11 1.0.1 - XFree86 4.3.0

This is probably a freetype bug in being able to enumerate all the faces in a
given font.
Comment 2 Sven Neumann 2005-05-08 20:43:28 UTC 
AFAIK the gimp.app package comes with outdated versions of freetype and pango.
There isn't much we can do but to ask you to use recent versions of these
libraries and if there are still problems, please file bug reports against them.
