Font problems - TeX Live 2020 - Roboto Condensed does not work

Question

New computer, new system (before Debian 10 with TeX Live 2019 (?); now Debian 11 with TeX Live 2020). My old documents no longer render correctly. I should have Roboto Condensed for title and subsections, and Venturis for paragraph text. Compare good output (PDFs from old computer):

With bad output (PDFs from new computer - zoom level slightly higher, ignore that):

I installed texlive-fonts-extra and all I could think of. Perhaps I'm missing something? This is my test file:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}

One thing that might be different from the old computer, is I installed Roboto for office use (LibreOffice etc.) via a Debian package instead of manually. But I guess that doesn't interfere at all with the TeX installation?

I am using pdflatex. If I add option sfdefault to package roboto, the title is correct, but now everything is in Roboto, including the paragraph text (which should remain in the serif). Another strange thing is that the serif is coming out significantly more condensed than in the old version (compare screenshots), perhaps it is related to the warnings in the log?

Answer 1

As pointed out in the comments, instead of just selecting with \robotocondensed, the change is to use \fontfamily{\robotofamily}\robotocondensed. Furthermore, I found that the condensed option to the roboto package creates a new problem where the other fonts become condensed as well; in this case the Venturis paragraph text. To fix this problem, remove the condensed package option, and redefine the section, subsection etc. headings with the titling package to ensure \robotocondensed is explicitly selected.
