Set "Cascadia Code SemiLight" as Text Font in the Preferences (General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts: Basic)
Create a Java Project
I tried
Open a Java source file, f.e. Open Type (Ctrl+Shift+T): String - java.lang
I expected: The Bold syntax elements (f.e. keywords) rendered with "Cascadia Code Bold"
But got: The Bold syntax elements appear rendered as "faux bold", and the character spacing is not monospace
If I set "Cascadia Code Regular" as the (normal) Text Font, then bold elements are rendered as expected:
"Cascadia Code Regular" is too bold for my preference and it is harder to distinguish from the Bold variant for me.
Tested under this environment:
OS & version: Windows 10 22H2 19045.4046
Eclipse IDE/Platform version (as shown in Help > About): Eclipse SDK, Version: 2024-06 (4.32), Build id: I20240304-0610

[x] I understand reporting an issue to this OSS project does not mandate anyone to fix it. Other contributors may consider the issue, or not, at their own convenience. The most efficient way to get it fixed is that I fix it myself and contribute it back as a good quality patch to the project.
[x] I verified I can reproduce this issue against latest Integration Build of Eclipse SDK
