Title:
  [Resolved Upstream] Demilight (OS/2 weight=350) confuses fontconfig

Status in Fontconfig:
  Fix Released
Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in fontconfig package in Arch Linux:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
