           Summary: Archaic "Berling Antiqua" has an alternative name
                    field of "Times New Roman"

Created attachment 476067
  --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=476067
fc-match -v "Times New Roman"

Description of problem:
Archaic "Berling Antiqua" has an alternative name field of "Times New
Roman". I
guess here that there's arguably no bug seeing as the font *does* name itself
Times New Roman in one of its name fields, but it is a real nuisance as it gets
preferred above e.g. Liberation Serif if you have the misfortune to install it

How reproducible:
100%

Actual results:
fc-match "Times New Roman"
berling.ttf: "Times New Roman" "Normal"

Expected results:
Ideally we could somehow blacklist/scrub the "Times New Roman" name from
"Berling Antiqua"

I see the upstream bug has been closed as "resolved fixed". Does that mean that
this bug can be closed wontfix?

1. This clearly isn't a bug in fontconfig.

2. Wherever the original archaic "Berling Antiqua" came from, the reporter
could 
update this buggy font from the (presumably) newer one that ships with
Microsoft Reader version 2.1.1, freely downloadable from Microsoft.

For reference, this product ships version 1.10 of the Berling Antiqua family,
with sha1sums:

bcd01a33bf2786142661df99178f8bfc2fa21674  berlingb.ttf
f8a4347e2d085813cb7775bc47ceb89346669157  berlingi.ttf
70728414597a7e97d33e48ae487753db8999adba  berling.ttf
367460e710ebd2bcda129daa8ab3e92f55a9e1d7  berlingz.ttf

None of these fonts have a name record of "Times New Roman".

I agree. it's not a bug in fontconfig but a font bug. though a workaround could
be added to it, there are no reason to keep using old one since the fix is
available.

For reference, sha1sum of the offending version, probably very old, and we've
hacked around it in LibreOffice itself.
