[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I'm using the Iosevka font: https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka
With the following build:

make custom-config set=term design='term v-asterisk-low' italic='v-i-serifed v-l-serifed v-a-doublestorey v-g-doublestorey'
make custom set=term

When I tell emacs to use the font "Iosevka Term-9.5" (either with Emacs.font in .Xresources, or set-frame-font, or set-face-attribute 'default...) and use M-x describe-font, I can see that Emacs picks the medium variants instead of the regular one. I can't seem to be able to make any change to the name or within emacs (playing with width/weight/size attributes) to get it to use the regular variant, unless I delete the medium variant. I'm not really sure what's going on here - I know this only happens in Emacs (using "Iosevka Term" as the font specifier for other programs makes them pick the regular variant).

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Based on this answer: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/32377/selecting-correct-font-weight-variant-linux# I've found that by using "weight=book" I can make Emacs choose the regular variant. Still, it's odd that Emacs would choose the medium one when no such specification was given, especially since that's inconsistent with fontconfig (even if Emacs doesn't use it, I'd expect similar behavior at least).
