[Bug 123788] Re: Doesn't include regular serif font.

[Teej]

I can verify this on my system with the reproduction steps above.
Marking as Confirmed, Low.

** Changed in: lmodern (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low

** Changed in: lmodern (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: lmodern
  
  The lmr10 font for X11 is actually the smallcaps version. There is no
  regular serif face as far as I can tell.
+ 
+ ================
+ 
+ Reproduction steps:
+ 
+ - Install the lmodern package.
+ - Open a gnome application that lets you set the fonts. In this
+ reproduction scenario I will use Open Office.
+ - Set the font to LMRoman10.
+ - Type to notice that the font used is all caps.
+ 
+ Desired result:
+ 
+ It should not be all caps. The all caps font is a different font
+ (*NOT* LMRoman10 -- I forget off hand which one it is). The
+ applications are choosing the incorrect font.
+ 
+ Discussion:
+ 
+ This happens with every Gnome applications (and IIRC KDE applications
+ as well). However, if you use a straight X-Lib application like
+ xfontsel, it doesn't happen -- the correct font is chosen. This leads
+ me to believe that the problem is with font-config rather than the
+ application itself. However, I haven't done any work to verify my
+ suspicion.
+ 
+ Contrast with:
+ 
+ - Run xfontsel
+ - Select -*-latin modern roman-*-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
+ - Notice that lower case letters exist (i.e., it isn't an all caps font)
