Installed 3 fonts with the same name - how to find out the unique one to put in the editor?

Question

linux

Installed 3 fonts and they are all called Operator Mono. If I open Font Viewer in Ubuntu, then I can see all 3 different fonts in the system. How do I choose the Italic I need? How to find out its name? Tried several options at random. Operator Mono Medium, Operator Mono Book, Operator Mono Book Italic. Works in VS Code and Sublime only Operator Mono.

Answer 1

Your font is called Operator Mono. You have provided three options for the respective styles.
Regardless of the number of font variations installed, programs will display one font. The programs themselves will choose the font file depending on their settings. If the specified font file does not exist, then the programs, according to their algorithms, would emulate italic from the nearest suitable font file. Therefore, you need to look for the Italic checkbox, or something like that
