Description Justus-bulk 2008-02-19 04:41:44 UTC

The attached patch fixes two problems:

- If distinct fonts declare the same font family name, the resulting font
mapping is currently arbitrary; now, a name-similarity heuristic is used to
prioritize the font mappings.
- "Medium" and "demi" fonts are now recognized as "bold", solving several
real-world problems (although this solution may be an oversimplification).

Thanks a lot, Justus!

Details on my refinements for font-weight:
I have fonts with medium, bold and extra bold weights. Setting medium and bold
to the same weight value seemed to simple. So at the moment, the mapping looks
like this:
light -> 200
default -> 400
medium -> 500
demi/semi(-bold) -> 600
bold -> 700
extrabold, extra bold, black, heavy, ultra, super -> 800
(the extra bold weights should probably be refined further although there's not
much playroom anymore.)
