I've installed the Roboto
typeface on my system but it turns out that the default, regular
face is rendered as black
, even though in the thumbnail it appears to be lighter. This happens on all applications, on Linux and Windows too. Here's an example:
This is how the thumbnails look on any file manager on Linux, the fonts seem fine (Windows doesn't even list the . Windows only lists the regular
face on the collection)normal
face if I remove the black
face:
And this is how it looks once it's rendered, no matter on what application:
Any application that asks for the Roboto
font, renders its black
face instead. Google Chrome on Windows and Linux, side by side, for example:
I've tried removing the black
face and symlinking to the and it works (Windows and Linux result, side by side):regular
one with the black's filename,
But I lose my black face and the italics are still rendered with the black face, so I'd have to remove the face along with its variants. What can I do? Is symlinking removing my fonts the only solution?
Update:
The problem is that both variants of the font (regular and black) interfere with each other, and I can only have one of the two installed at a time. Is there some sort of font metadata that I could change to fix this?
