HELVETICA NEUE FAMILY UPGRADE

I suspect that the style/stretch/weight properties we're getting may be values that were intended for separate simple families (so, for example, an Extended Black face may be considered to have stretch:0 and weight:500 when it is the sole member of a 'Helvetica Neue Extended Black' family but as part of the overall 'Helvetica Neue' family, those properties are worthless).They are taking a 'shotgun' approach to referencing the font. so the results are liable to be pretty chaotic. We're getting about 50 faces of Helvetica Neue altogether, but only around 10 unique sets of properties to use in font matching.

In particular, Oblique faces are getting style:normal Extended and Condensed faces are getting stretch:0 Light and UltraLight are both weight:300 and a variety of Roman/Medium/Heavy/Black faces all end up with weight:500. The logs ( comment 24) indicate that a lot of Helvetica Neue faces are being loaded with apparently incorrect style/weight/stretch properties in our font list. usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-UltraLtItal.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-UltraLight.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-UltraLigExt.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-UltraLigCond.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-UltLigExtObl.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-UltLigCondObl.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-Thin.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-ThinItalic.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-ThinExt.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-ThinExtObl.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-ThinCond.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-ThinCondObl.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-Roman.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-Medium.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-MediumItalic.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-MediumExt.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-MediumExtObl.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-MediumCond.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-MediumCondObl.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-Light.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-LightItalic.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-LightExt.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-LightExtObl.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-LightCond.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-LightCondObl.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-Italic.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-Heavy.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-HeavyItalic.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-HeavyExt.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-HeavyExtObl.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-Heavењњond.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-HeavењњondObl.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-Extended.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-ExtendedObl.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-ExtBlkCondObl.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-ExtBlackCond.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-Condensed.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-CondensedObl.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-BoldOutline.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-Bold.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-BoldItalic.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-BoldExt.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-BoldExtObl.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-BoldCond.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-BoldCondObl.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-Black.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-BlackItalic.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-BlackExt.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-BlackExtObl.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-BlackCond.otf usr/local/share/fonts/OpenType/HelveticaNeue-BlackCondObl.otf Locate -i helveticaneue | grep /usr/local/share/fonts/ I've reproduced this as initially presented by a colleague I.e., other user, other computer - same results reproduced.ДЇonts in FF DevEd should be displayed as non-outline fonts, identical to FF 40b6 and Chrome 45 The comparison of FF DevEd to Chrome 45 is shown in the attached screenshot.ДЇF DevEd on the left Chrome 45 on the right.
