Subject: Font weight selection problem
Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2024 18:41:42 +0100 [thread overview]

I'm using Emacs 29.2 on OSX and I'm having difficulty selecting a
font with the proper weight. The following simple script shows the
problem on my machine:
(set-frame-font "Roboto Mono-14:light")
(insert "test")
(insert (propertize "test" 'face '(:family "Roboto Mono" :weight
light)))
The set-frame-font installs the proper font and weight.
The first insert displays the text with light weight (as expected)
The second insert displays the text with a *regular* weight
(unexpected).
When I ask for char description for both displayed strings, Emacs
reports " mac-ct:-*-Roboto
Mono-regular-normal-normal-*-14-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1" for both
strings (even though the visual appearance is clearly different).
I think the problem has been here since at least version 28.0 (and
I solved it by creating a dedicated font file with a new name).
All necessary fonts are installed:
$ fc-list "Roboto Mono" -f '%{weight} %{style}\n' | sort -n
0 Thin
0 Thin Italic
[0 200]
[0 200]
50 Light
50 Light Italic
80 Italic
80 Regular
100 Medium
100 Medium Italic
200 Bold
200 Bold Italic
