Hi Emacs,
Currently I tried to use Fira Code font on Windows 10, but the italic
font can not use on Emacs 29 and Emacs 30, it rolls back to regular
font. This only happends on Windows platform. It works as expected on
macOS.
Does anyone known how to make it works?
You can downlaod and install Fira Code from this link:
https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/releases/download/6.2/Fira_Code_v6.2.zip
steps to reproduce:
1. Unzip the Fira_Code_v6.2.zip and install Fira Code fonts in ttf
folder
2. Start Emacs with `emacs -Q`
3. From the Menu, choose Options -> Set Default Font...
4. From the popup window, select Fira Code font with italic type
Now you will see that the font of current buffer have been changed to
Fira Code with Regular font type. It should be the italic font type.
But When I tried the Cascadia Mono font, it works as expected.
If you want install Cascadia Mono, you can download it from this link:
https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/releases/download/v2111.01/CascadiaCode-2111.01.zip

The zip file whose URL you posted doesn't seem to include an italic
variant of Fir Code...

Yes, you are right. Fira code do not provide an italic variant.
But with other applications such as MS Word and Notepad3, Fira Code can
show italic style.
Meawhile, Emacs 29 on macOS can Show italic with the same Fira Code
font.
I tried below font setting on both Windows and macOS:
```
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist (cons 'font "Fira Code-13"))
```
After Emacs start up, put your cursor on an character and execute
`M-x describe-char`, and shows result as
below:
```
macOS:
position: 4 of 43 (7%), column: 3
character: H (displayed as H) (codepoint 72, #o110, #x48)
charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
code point in charset: 0x48
script: latin
syntax: w which means: word
category: .:Base, L:Strong L2R, a:ASCII, l:Latin, r:Roman
to input: type "C-x 8 RET 48" or "C-x 8 RET LATIN CAPITAL LETTER H"
buffer code: #x48
file code: #x48 (encoded by coding system utf-8)
display: by this font (glyph code):
mac-ct:-*-Fira Code-regular-italic-normal-*-13-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x28)
Character code properties: customize what to show
name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER H
general-category: Lu (Letter, Uppercase)
decomposition: (72) ('H')
There are text properties here:
face font-lock-comment-face
fontified nil
ws-butler-chg chg
Windows:
position: 4 of 39 (8%), column: 3
character: H (displayed as H) (codepoint 72, #o110, #x48)
charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
code point in charset: 0x48
script: latin
syntax: w which means: word
category: .:Base, L:Strong L2R, a:ASCII, l:Latin, r:Roman
to input: type "C-x 8 RET 48" or "C-x 8 RET LATIN CAPITAL LETTER H"
buffer code: #x48
file code: #x48 (encoded by coding system utf-8)
display: by this font (glyph code):
harfbuzz:-outline-Fira Code-regular-normal-normal-*-18-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1 (#x28)
Character code properties: customize what to show
name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER H
general-category: Lu (Letter, Uppercase)
decomposition: (72) ('H')
There are text properties here:
face font-lock-comment-face
fontified nil
ws-butler-chg chg
```
And you can see that there do have the italic font
`-*-Fira Code-regular-italic-normal-*-13-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1` on macOS Emacs,
but don't have on Windows.
Is it possible to make the Emacs on Windows have the same ability as the
Emacs on macOS for showing this kind of font without italic variant?

No, not as far as I understand the mechanism Emacs uses fonts on
Windows. Sorry.
How about asking the font developers to provide an explicit italic
variant in the zip file, just for Emacs on Windows?
