Nope; haven't touched the default face.

The following patch fixes it, otherwise the :weight shows up as
"regular", which I guess customize doesnʼt like.

Hm.  But is that a problem with Customize or this?  I guess "normal" is
more normal than regular, so perhaps this is the right solution.

I think it's a bug in Customize that it doesn't support the aliases
here.  If nevertheless we fix it in font.c, we should have a prominent
comment there explaining the importance of the order.

This also does it, but those weights look seriously out of whack
compared to the list in font.c

Except that M-x customize-face RET default RET still shows the lisp
expression, since the weight is still coming back as 'regular'. So
either we drop "regular" from font.c, or adjust cus-face.el

The latter, I think.  Dropping "regular" is out of the question.

OK. Iʼm tempted to move "regular" back after "normal" in font.c, but
Lars explicitly swapped them when adding support for "medium", so Iʼm
wondering if thereʼs a reason for the order.

I think this is on purpose, since that's the "normal" name for that
weight.

Lars?

Yes, that was my reason for making that the "main" name for that group
-- name of the font is usually "Foo Bar Regular", not "Foo Bar Normal".

I donʼt know, I couldn't find anything obvious in customize where I
could get it to recognize 'regular', but that might be the place to
put it. Doing it here feels fragile.

Where does it recognize 'normal'?
