Hi you all! Some time ago #foot started to render an italic version of my font. I do not change anything at all in foot's config, but for now to make foot render the regular font version I should reduce the font size. Here are examples of foot logs for size 7 and 8:

gundise: what *exactly* do you have for font=? in foot.ini?

fc-match "UW Ttyp0" returns:
<gundise>
UW-Ttyp0.otb: "UW Ttyp0" "Regular"
<gundise>
dnkl: I do not uncomment any settings for bold/italics
<dnkl>
gundise: this is somehow fontconfig's doing:
<dnkl>
% fc-match "UW Ttyp0:size=8:dpi=143"
<dnkl>
UW-Ttyp0-Italic.otb: "UW Ttyp0" "Italic"
<dnkl>
not sure what's happening here, but it isn't foot that's doing it
<dnkl>
and, fwiw:
<dnkl>
% fc-match "UW Ttyp0:size=15"
<dnkl>
UW-Ttyp0-Italic.otb: "UW Ttyp0" "Italic"
<dnkl>
i.e. it seems that fontconfig returns the italic version when the size is "too large"
<gundise>
dnkl: thank you, will inspect my `fontconfig` for the reson of this behavior
<dnkl>
gundise: must be something that is enabled by default, since I see the same thing...

gundise: not sure what distro you're on, but on arch, there's a PCF variant of that font in the AUR. It seems to behave better than the OTB version
<gundise>
@dnkl: yes, I'm also on Arch, will give it a try. Thank you one more time)
