[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi all,

I've customized my fonts like this:

(custom-set-faces
 ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(default ((t (:family "Source Code Pro Medium" :foundry "outline" :slant normal :weight medium :height 90 :width normal))))
 '(fixed-pitch ((t (:inherity default)))))

Emacs from master (3e23494394) ignores these settings and starts with
Arial which looks likte this:
[arial.png (image/png, inline)]
[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]
My last build (41b1fa05c7) works as expected.  To reproduce:

1) Make a minimal init file with the code above
2) Start emacs

This is on Win10 with Msys2.

Best, Arash

Sorry, there is a typo in :inherit -- finger trouble while yanking.  It
should read:

(custom-set-faces
 ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(default ((t (:family "Source Code Pro Medium" :foundry "outline" :slant normal :weight medium :height 90 :width normal))))
 '(fixed-pitch ((t (:inherit default)))))

The behavior remains.

If you revert commit 32086ea23, does the problem go away?

Yes, it does.  I did

  git checkout a491b73c765adde894acdbafc6fd97edd4343c2c

and built again.  Font settings are respected.

Where did you download this font, and which files exactly did you
download for it?

I think I figured it out.  It seems to be a cockpit error: the
"Medium" part is not part of the :family, and you already say
":weight medium" in the attributes anyway.  Try this instead:

 '(default ((t (:family "Source Code Pro" :foundry "outline" :slant normal :weight medium :height 90 :width normal))))

With this, I get the same results as with an older Emacs.  It is true
that the older Emacs also accepted "Source Code Pro Medium" as the
family, but the result was that it loaded the same font as the master
branch without "Medium".

Does this resolve your issue?

The fonts are from Github.  I'm using Roman fonts version 2.030 and
Italic fonts version 1.050[1].  This is the package I fetched[2].  And
these are the fonts installed under /c/Windows/Fonts:

No, it doesn't.  I updated my local git repo and built a fresh Emacs.
I'm comparing New (6c9ac53249) with Old (41b1fa05c7).

With  '(default ((t (:family "Source Code Pro Medium" :foundry "outline" :slant normal :weight medium :height 90 :width normal))))

- Old uses Source Code Pro Medium font (good)
- New uses Arial (bad)

 With '(default ((t (:family "Source Code Pro" :foundry "outline" :slant normal :weight medium :height 90 :width normal))))

- Old uses Source Code Regular font (bad)
- New uses Source Code Regular font (bad)

I'm attaching two snapshots where you can hopefully see the difference.
This is the medium font:
[medium.png (image/png, inline)]
[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]
This is the regular font:
[regular.png (image/png, inline)]
[Message part 5 (text/plain, inline)]

Yes, it's fixed.  Many thanks for the quick fix.  I'm closing this
