Spacemacs does is not able to use heavy fonts
Issue: dotspacemacs-default-font Ignores :weight heavy Option
Observation
The text in Spacemacs does not display in heavy despite being configured to do so in the dotspacemacs-default-font setting. This results in the font appearing in its regular weight instead of heavy.
There is no error in my emacs logs
Expected Behavior
I expect the text to be displayed in heavy as specified in the dotspacemacs-default-font configuration.
Configuration Reference
Here is the relevant configuration snippet from my .spacemacs file:
dotspacemacs-default-font '("Iosevka"
:size 20.0
:weight heavy
:width normal)
Font manager does display my desired Iosevka heavy font correctly
Here are the Iosevka fonts installed on my system, indicating that the heavy variant is available and should be applicable.

I am looking for guidance on ensuring the :weight heavy option is respected by Spacemacs. Any suggestions or solutions to enforce the heavy weight as specified in the configuration would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Hi @dewijones92, at the screenshot the value is different to the text posted: "Heavy" instead of "heavy".
@alexey0308 hello :) I have updated the text & screenshot. The problem persists. Any ideas? thanks thanks
please check M-x set-frame-font for available variants.
You probably want to set the weight to semibold or bold.
A trick worth trying: use the menu bar -> Options -> Set Default Font, and choose exactly the font you're having trouble accessing. (I know, I'm supposed to hate the menu bar, but this really helps sometimes.) (And yes, this will temporarily set everything to Iosevka Heavy, but it's OK.) After changing that setting, but without saving your settings, run describe-face and type default RET to see what Emacs thinks the problem font is called. Setting the default font in this way will not survive a restart of Emacs, so there's no need to worry about messing anything up.
I am sorry I am not able to reproduce your issue, I have set my font to heavy and its properly rendering in heavy font everywhere. See my config below
dotspacemacs-default-font '("Source Code Pro"
:size 7.0
;; :weight normal
:weight heavy
:width normal)
Please retry with an emacs release version and the standard font and reopen if it does not work.
