Hello everyone — I’m struggling with the Mapnick rasterizer and would really appreciate some help. I’m using the Mapnick Rasterizer and need to render labels with the Noto Sans Condensed font;

I’m attaching screenshots that illustrate the problem:

 

Mapnick outputs configured to use: Noto Sans, Noto Sans Bold, Noto Sans Condensed, Noto Sans Condensed Bold.

 

 

Mapnick open showing the four font settings for each situation.
The result, showing that Noto Sans applies Bold, but Noto Sans Cond does not apply Bold.
Noto Sans font configuration — but the Mapnick Rasterizer, although it shows Condensed + Bold in the font styles, does not accept selecting it and always reverts to only Bold.
Finally, comparing this image with a label in QGIS — both using Noto Sans Condensed at size 30 — the fonts do not appear to be the same.

I need to use Noto Sans with various styles — almost all Condensed, some italic, some bold — but I can’t apply all the styles in Mapnick and the Noto Sans Condensed rendered there doesn’t match the one in QGIS. Does anyone know why this happens or can help me fix it?

 

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Gosh, seems like a bug - I would contact Safe about this one. Likely they can’t do much but perhaps there is some was missing fonts can be added with additional files.
