Include light font weight in Delugia

[offero]

Terminal config:

           "fontFace" : "Delugia Nerd Font",
            "fontWeight": "light",
            "fontSize" : 10,

Results in bold font

There is no Delugia Nerd Font light. Which 'Terminal' are you using, that you can select 'light'? I can't.

Usually you can select bold or italic even if not supplied by the font, but I never heard of an autogenerated light.

I'm using the latest Cacadia Code PL

Terminal: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal

Settings:

            "fontFace" : "Cascadia Mono PL",
            "fontWeight": "light",
            "fontSize" : 10,

If you open Delugia in your font settings dialog, note that there is no light or other weights, just regular.

I guess you manually typed in light in the terminal settings file?

Gotcha. Consider this issue a request to include the light variant then.

In fact I noticed this would be easy (while working on Artur's PR). What shall we do? All (now 5) fonts also in light? Where to end, there are 5 weights for each ... :grimacing:

Explanation: I think we can not handle the multi-weight font files; either because a fontforge limitation or because limited know how to operate that on my side. But we can generate dedicated files for each weight, as Microsoft does in its static/ subdir.

I think you're right @Finii we should generate all the fonts 😬

I guess this can be closed? Please reopen if this is still an issue with release v2105.24.2.
