Additional weights

Very nice, however would you consider adding (particularly bold) additional weights as otherwise programs (such as libvte terminals) will attempt to apply auto-emboldening which looks quite poor as it just stretches the stem width horizontally.

I've added additional weights.

Hm, if you've used an automated tool to do this, it caused some loss in form and produced different glyphs, e.g. compare the original Medium with the new Regular and Bold:

automnono comparison

The letter 'a' is different in both the Regular and Bold. The Bold weight does seem to suffer less from the distortions which at least fixes the main issue with auto-emboldening.

I'm using the OpenType version locally but it appears to be the case with the TrueType outlines as well.

Oh it appears the use of a double-story a with a top-hook was intentional if the newly added screenshot is supposed to be accurate. That's a real shame.
