I wouldn't expect to find anything useful there (that logic is in the library itself). Using fc-query, it reports the same weight value for Light and Extra light fonts (50). Looking into the fonts OS/2 table, the Extra Light has weight value of 250 (not sure about the exact relation between FC weight and OS/2 one) while FontForge's predefined values suggest 200 for Extra Light, which corresponds to OS/2 table documentation: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/os2.htm#wtc So I'd say it is a font bug (might be a FontConfig limitation as well, I have some vague recollection about some discussion somewhere on whether OS/2 weight must be multiples of 100 or not). fc-query reports Black weight not Heavy. (I didn't installed the fonts, just using fc-query on the downloaded files). Regards, Khaled
