๐Ÿž Font weight setting is ignored, font is always bold

macguru opened this issue ยท 2 comments

Description

It seems the font weight setting is being ignored. See the attached screenshots, all text renders bold for me.

Also this is a setting I never changed, but it was set to "Medium", which feels like a weird choice. "Regular" would be better.

To Reproduce

Edit any file (in my case ruby)

Expected Behavior

Regular font weight

Version Information

CodeEdit: 0.3.2-alpha (43)
macOS: 15.1 beta 4
Xcode: 16.1 beta 2

Additional Context

I've never experienced this. Please confirm that you have SF Mono installed and/or enabled.

It did turn out I had the font installed twice, probably from the time when it was not a System Font. They were in two system locations:

  • /Library/Fonts
  • /System/Library/Fonts

And it seems CodeEdit somehow went with the latter. When I disabling it, the editor is okay again. So that's solved ๐Ÿ˜‰

The other this still applies though โ€“ the Font Weight setting doesn't do anything for me. Not sure why it's there to begin with, but you certainly have reason.
