Should be an abiword/openoffice.org problem (thus reassigning the bug
to the above packages);

* abiword can handle just 4 variants per font
* OOo mixes up Condensed Oblique and Condensed Bold Oblique with the Regular variants

apps should either use legacy names or use preferred names and not a
mix of both
