Google web font styles missing in Animate

Hi, here is my problem,

I create a dynamic text field in animate (CC2019), import and select a google font (Lato for instance).
The problem is that the google font has 10 styles (thin, thin Italic, Light, Light Italic, Regular, Regular Italic, Bold, Bold italis, black, black italic)
but once imported in animate and selected has web font family (at the top of the list with the "F" in a circle icon) the only styles available are : regular, regular italic, bold, bold italic...
This is happening with all google fonts... on the other hand if I use a Typekit font all styles appears in the drop down selector.
I need to use the google font (client's choice).
Can you help me to sort this out please?
many Thanks!

      Hi Samuel

      You are indeed right. I added Lato in Animate and get also only these four styles: italic, regular, bold, bold italic.

      I added a short while ago Barlow Condensed from Google fonts and here too I only get: italic, regular, bold, bold italic.

      Although Barlow Condensed contains 18 styles. It seems that Animate currently only takes these basic styles from Google.

      I have since a long time Open Sans with 11 or so styles and those are all available. But as I said I added this font years ago.

      This seems to be a new bug. Maybe related to an effort to drive more users towards Adobe Fonts?

      Please post a bug report Adobe Animate CC Feature Request/Bug Report Form
