Hi Andrew,
There seems to be something slightly weird with how fonts are rendered on macOS.

I was trying to use B612, the free airbus cockpit display font, and while the mono version loads fine and works well, the variable version seems to be loading the BOLD variant instead on the menus, which just makes it ugly.

The same happens with most other fonts that have a bold variant (Avenir New, Calibri, DejaVu Sans, Helvetica Neue etc).

It seems to be ok on the map itself.

Carl.

Ok, worked it out. It’s by design. FontCache.java/FontAttr has ‘wantsBold’ set to true for most of the UI elements. I can live with it.
