Description Vaclav Vancura 2014-08-06 17:19:59 UTC 
Hi,

This is critical, please take a look at this bug, all apps with fonts rendered by Pango are rendered incorrectly under OS X Yosemite.

When requesting bold weight from Helvetica Neue Bold the results is Helvetica Neue Bold Condensed, which is wrong. See here: http://vncr.in/Wvnm

OS X Yosemite renders all system fonts with Helvetica Neue, so this problem is rather critical. See the list of all Helvetica Font weights and styles defined in Yosemite system: http://vncr.in/WvRt

Thanks!
Vaclav

Check kCTFontCondensedTrait when creating from a CTFontDescriptorRef

Looks like when we create the PangoFontDescription from a CTFontDescriptorRef, we don't currently look at the condensed trait. This fixes it and allows Pango to use both Helvetica Neue Bold and Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold.
