Many font designers and foundries are adamant that spaces belong in font style names such as Familyname Extra Light and Familyname Semi Bold. I personally prefer the approach of Pascal Casing, like Familyname SemiBold, but I also feel that Fontbakery should be separate this opinion from a check of whether a font style is bold.
Specifically, com.fontwerk/check/style_linking relies on the is_bold condition to say whether a font has proper style linking metadata, but it presents fails for fonts if they use spaces in weight names.
Expected behaviour
I would expect the is_bold condition to be a little more flexible towards different naming philosophies.
Resources and steps needed to reproduce
This is true as of the latest Fontbakery version, at d7175d583b1e1ba618255aa3e23165686b08fa2b, for any font that includes spaces in bold-adjacent style names.
