Subject: bug#51155: 29.0.50; Incorrect weight used in Cantarell VF
Date: Tue, 12 Oct 2021 16:45:41 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87wnmipk82.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
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):

> the classic fonts *or* the variable font. The VF is more powerful as
> it not just contains all the classic weights but can also interpolate
> 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:
