            Bug ID: 499788
           Summary: Bold text isn't bold when a 'light' 'font style' is
                    selected as the main font
    Classification: Applications
           Product: konsole
           Version: 24.08.3
          Platform: NixOS
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: font
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: a.beer_256 at live.ca
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
A font I want to use has four weights: Light, Regular, Medium, and Bold. I want
normal text to be rendered as, "Light," and bold/intense text to be rendered
as, "Bold." But if I tell Konsole to use, "Light," then ALL text is rendered
as, "Light."

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download Monaspice.tar.xz from
https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/tag/v3.3.0.
2. From that archive, install the "MonaspiceNeNerdFont-*.otf" font files.
3. Open Konsole, using a profile that you can edit.
4. Run: bash -c 'echo -e "normal \u1b[1mbold"'
5. Open the, "Edit Current Profile," window, and move it so it's not covering
the, "normal bold," text that you just printed.
6. Go to the, "Appearance," page. Make sure that, "Draw intense colors in bold
font," is enabled.
7. Click the, "Choose..." button to open the window to choose your font.
8. Choose, "MonaspiceNe Nerd Font."
9. Under, "Font Style," switch between, "Regular," "Medium," "Bold," and,
"Light," observing how the, "normal bold," text appears for each.

EXPECTED RESULT
The word, "normal," should be printed in whatever style I've selected, and the
word, "bold," should be printed in the, "Bold," style.

OBSERVED RESULT
When I select, "Regular," "Medium," or, "Bold," the observed result is the
expected result. But when I select, "Light," the words, "normal," and, "bold,"
are both printed in the, "Light," style.
