QT font weight wrong

Hello,

I set my qt general font to "Helvetica Neue LT Std 55 Roman" with font size 10.

Now the bold weight is automatically selected to an outline font  "Helvetica Neue LT Std 75 Bold Outline" (example transmission-qt):

Instead the font should be  "Helvetica Neue LT Std 75 Bold"

How can I fix the selected bold font?

BTW: The font is from the Adobe Font Folio package (otf Format). Probably I need to modify the file, does anyone has a hint how to edit the mapping / naming inside the font file?

Re: QT font weight wrong

Sorry for spamming, but I probably found the problem:

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-27301

Also the following bug report with a more lengthy explanation: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font- … bug/744812

In short: The font has multiple fonts defined for weight 75 and qt chooses the wrong one.
