Subject: (Windows) menu-set-font doesn't work for all font styles
Date: Sun, 14 Aug 2016 23:28:34 +0300

"Options->Set Default Font..." (or menu-set-font) font selection menu 
doesn't let you select
certain fonts styles, eg. "Source Code Pro ExtraLight" font
(https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro). Only "Regular" works.

It complains:

set-face-attribute: Font not available: #<font-spec nil nil Source\ 
Code\ Pro\ ExtraLight nil nil light nil nil 12.0 nil nil nil ((:name . 
"Source Code Pro ExtraLight-12:light") (user-spec . "Source Code Pro 
ExtraLight-12:light"))>

However, in emacs config file, I can set the font explicitly with command

(set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "-outline-Source Code Pro 
ExtraLight-extralight-normal-normal-mono-16-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1")

, but not through the menu. This font name came from "describe-char" 
command.

I cannot reproduced this.  I tried both Emacs 24.5 and the latest RC
of Emacs 25.1, on Windows 7, and both allowed me to select any style
of this font family.

The fonts come in a large archive, with many different variants (OTF,
TTF, WOFF, WOFF2, etc.).  Which ones did you install?  I installed the
ones in the TTF directory.

Also, please try this in "emacs -Q", perhaps some of your
customizations get in the way.

Thanks.

I tried with emacs -Q. No luck.

I used OTF, but TTF fonts don't work either.

I'm running Windows 10.

Also, it seems that "Light" works too, but just not "ExtraLight".

I don't have easy access to a Windows 10 machine.  Can someone else
try this on Windows 10, please?

Both work for me here.

That was three years ago, but there we no followups.

The font machinery in Emacs has changed quite a bit since then --
Juhani, are you still able to reproduce the error in Emacs 27?

with 'emacs -Q' and it still happens

I think I see the problem.  (I originally said I couldn't reproduce
because I used the font selection via S-mouse-1, not the "Set Default
Font" menu-bar item.)

Should be fixed now, please try the latest master branch.

No further comments within 8 weeks, so I'll assume the fix worked.
I'm consequently closing this bug.

If this is still an issue, please reopen the bug or simply reply to
this email (use "Reply to all" in your email client).
