Steps to reproduce in iTerm2 (3.5.20231109-nightly):

  1. Preferences -> Profiles -> select profile -> Text -> Font dropdown

  2. Select "Monaspace Xenon Var"

  3. Select weight "Regular"

  4. Result: Font weight appears to be Light:

  5. Select weight "Light"

  6. Result: Font weight appears thicker than "Regular":

This may be a result of lack of Variable Font support in iTerm2. Please try using the static .otf (rather than variable) fonts, and let me know if the issue persists.

The family name will not have ‘var’ in it, for the static fonts, for instance.

OK, The regular OTFs do work as expected for me. I did not realize this was an issue with iTerm2, as variable Roboto Mono seems to work as expected, for example. Sorry about that, and thanks for the nice fonts.
