Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2018-03-13 10:29:40 UTC
I have the following lines in my ~/.Xresources:

Emacs.pane.menubar.font: Droid Sans-10:bold
Emacs.pane.menubar.background: maroon
Emacs.pane.menubar.foreground: ivory

With media-libs/fontconfig-2.13.0, emacs-25.3-r3 will show the menubar font as medium weight. With fontconfig-2.12.6, it is correctly shown as bold.

Comment 5 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2018-03-13 20:56:42 UTC
Definitely a problem with fontconfig-2.13.0:

$ fc-match 'Droid Sans-10:bold'
DroidSans-Bold.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Bold"
$ fc-match 'Droid Sans-10:bold'
DroidSans.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular"

Upstream bug report: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105415

Reassigning.

> Definitely a problem with fontconfig-2.13.0:

Sorry, these commands are with different versions.
With fontconfig-2.12.6 (behaviour as expected):

> $ fc-match 'Droid Sans-10:bold'
> DroidSans-Bold.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Bold"

And with fontconfig-2.13.0:

> $ fc-match 'Droid Sans-10:bold'
> DroidSans.ttf: "Droid Sans" "Regular"
