Hi,

On 2021-09-21, Arch Linux updated their Cantarell font package, which
removed classic font with variable fonts.  According to Jan Alexander
Steffens (package maintainer):

> between them.

But with these changes Emacs in now unable to distinguish between light
and regular weights.  To reproduce the bug you would have to:

1. Install latest version of font from upstream:
<https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cantarell-fonts>

2. Evaluate in "emacs -Q" session:
(progn
  (set-face-attribute 'variable-pitch nil :family "Cantarell" :weight 'regular)
  (face-font 'variable-pitch))

Also see bug report on Arch Linux bug tracker:
