--- Comment #40 from Nicolas Mailhot <nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net> ---
Peng Wu,
Thank you for working on this.
If Medium has been abused as a Regular synonym in BDF files (to the point that
XLFD treats them the same) that is the correct thing to do *for* *BDF* *files*.
However, it is not sufficient to get a safe OpenType result.
Medium and Regular are most definitely *not* synonyms in the OpenType and CSS
specs.
And, because various generations of software will select fonts by Name *or*
Weight, or some mix of both (and various iterations of the CSS and OpneType
specs have encouraged one mode at the expense of the other, then changed their
mind), it is not sufficient to adjust Weight value only. You need to adjust the
Weight value *and* the style name and make sure they are coherent with one
another, or bad things will happen®.
