As for the missing bold, it seems there's a bug in the naming scheme: Ii the bold italic file gets read from the disk before the bold, then you don't get the right entries. It so happens that most of the fonts in that dir had bold before bold italic, e.g.

fontnames | identifying ttf font /usr/share/fonts/vista/Verdanai.ttf fontnames | identifying ttf font /usr/share/fonts/vista/Verdana.ttf fontnames | identifying ttf font /usr/share/fonts/vista/Verdanaz.ttf fontnames | identifying ttf font /usr/share/fonts/vista/Verdanab.ttf

fontnames | identifying otf font /usr/share/fonts/vista/C-series/Calibri Bold Italic.otf fontnames | identifying otf font /usr/share/fonts/vista/C-series/Calibri.otf fontnames | identifying otf font /usr/share/fonts/vista/C-series/Calibri Italic.otf fontnames | identifying otf font /usr/share/fonts/vista/C-series/Calibri Bold.otf

So, I've added some extra code (patch attached) to print the names it adds to the hash. As you can see there is a clash: both bold italic and bold want to "own" bold...

how do you define the font; don't use spaces!

??? If your're complaining that Calibri has spaces in the file name, it's a non-issue here. Verdana has the same "bold not listed" problem, even though there are no spaces in the file name...

Where do you got the vista fonts, i know them only in TrueType format and more verbose names. Wolfgang
