Nimbus Sans D Ro1 Condensed: RegularCondensedRo1 is NOT condensed

Nimbus Sans family with all it's variations (D, L, T, and so on), lacks organization. 

 

I picked this font family for it's extended, and rounded condensed styles. Noticing in particular when pairing 

  • BoldCondensedRo1
  • RegularCondensedRo1 The regular condensed style is clearly NOT condensed. (Gonna have to cheat it)

I checked an old collection of Nimbus Sans font files that were part of a 2000 font bundle in an ancient version of Deneba Canvas from the 1990's. I'm still seeing the same width differences you're seeing. The Regular Condensed Ro1 style looks like a narrow style while the Bold Condensed Ro1 font is more compressed looking. It appears the width differences between those two fonts have always been there.
