This version of Google's Roboto font has fontconfig-compatible metadata. This means that font pickers in Linux will not just show all 18 style variants, but when choosing one, fontconfig will give you the expected font!
The files contain several conflicting versions of the same metadata (Postscript, Windows, OpenType), and fontconfig handles those conflicts in a different way than Windows or Mac OS. This is bad for Linux users, while font designers don't seem to care much.

I opened all files in FontForge and changed
- Postscript weight
- TTF styles
- OS/2 weight class (only for Black and Thin variants)
- OS/2 width class for the Roboto Condensed family
