[FFe request comment]
Upgrading to fontconfig 2.11.94 is proposed as a fix of this bug,
including a fix of certain font weight issues due to the switch from
fonts-droid to fonts-noto-cjk for Chinese (discussed at bug #1468027)
where we haven't found any way to work around the problem.
The proposed upload is available in this PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/fontconfig-test2
Changes are listed in the attachment upstream_git-log.txt
[Original description including updates]
See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81453 and bug
1468027.
Fontconfig lacks support for many OpenType/TrueType OS/2 font weight
values. This causes a bunch of problems, like mixing up Demilight
(weight=350) and Regular (weight=400).
Although it's possible to write (dirty?) hacks for deb-packed fonts,
this still causes problems for otherwise sourced fonts.
