With version 27.0 I was able to select the "Roboto Mono" light,
but version 28.0 did not work anymore for some reason. I solved
the issue by creating a font file with a unique weight (light)
(and named it differently). It looks as if Emacs is confused by
the "light" version inside the font but I don't know if the font
is malformed or if Emacs interprets "light" differently. I've
tried other fonts and the light face always ends up either thin or
regular, which makes me think that Emacs might be the cause.
I've since found what seems to be a relevant (small) patch:
https://github.com/yaglo/emacs-mac-patches/blob/main/fix_weights_and_widths.diff
but I did not tested it yet. The patch change values for weights
but I don't know what is the semantic of these values (and if it
is relevant here).
