Subject: Font selection depending on the face weight
Date: Mon, 22 May 2023 14:20:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ilckwoay.fsf@valhala.localdomain> (raw)


Hi,

I stumbled upon a strange behaviour. With the IntelOne Mono font [1],
Emacs (Emacs 28.2 GUI on Linux) maps font faces as follows:

'((t :font "IntelOne Mono-11" :weight light))      -> "Light"
'((t :font "IntelOne Mono-11" :weight semi-light)) -> "Light"
'((t :font "IntelOne Mono-11" :weight normal))     -> "Medium"
'((t :font "IntelOne Mono-11" :weight medium))     -> "Medium"
'((t :font "IntelOne Mono-11" :weight semi-bold))  -> "Bold"

None of the Emacs weight maps to the "Normal" font weight (Light,
Medium, Normal and Bold are the name of the weights as reported by all
other applications).

From a quick search, Emacs uses font-weight-table to map numeric font
weights to symbolic weights, but I cannot find any link between these
numeric values and the weight names reported by other applications.

Is there something I can do to control (or at least understand) the way
weights are mapped?
