Subject: 27.1; menu-set-font not loading correct font
Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2021 18:08:48 -0400

--text follows this line--

menu-set-font is not loading the correct file that corresponds to the
font I choose.

recipe:

---
emacs -Q

M-x menu-set-font

[navigate the menu to choose 'Operator Mono SSm Book'; the font then
changes to a bold font, not to Operator Mono SSm Book]

M-x describe-font

[The "name" and "full name" fields show that I have selected a 'normal'
font; however, the "file name" field shows that Emacs has loaded
OperatorMonoSSm-Bold.otf, i.e. the "bold" version, even though the
"book" version is available on the system and was in fact rendered
correctly in the menu displayed by menu-set-font.]
