Would really like the ability to specify the "normal" & "bold" version of fonts for "Main Content"
I'm currently using "Signika" for the Main Content (font looks amazing at high dpi and had fixed wight numbers...). But I'm using "Signika Light" variant. Everything that is displayed as bold is "generated". Would if be possible to specify something like "Signika Light" as "Normal" and "Signika SemiBold" for the "Bold" version? Interface or .INI.

Possible, but not easy. Where in the list do you have bold font anyway? AFAIK it happens only in the information bars.

Re: More flexible font support
Not sure what you mean by information bars... but at a quick glance, I see it used for: Current Tab, Breadcrumbs and Bookmarked Folders in the Tree (I have quite a few).
If it wasn't using a generated Bold version of the Light version for bold text I would also use that font for "Buttons and Labels".
And, if an entry in the .ini would make is easy (or easier), I'll take it!

[Font] Name=Selawik Light ;[...] BoldAltName=Selawik SemiBold BoldAltBold=0 ; or BoldAltName=Selawik BoldAltBold=1

It's an interesting wish, but fraught with problems when it comes to realizing it. Something for the winter...

Re: More flexible font support
Thanks for the consideration, but... keep it for a long and boring winter
It wasn't that complicated to change the font names using FontForge...
Signika Light -> Signika UI
Signika SemiBold -> Signika UI Bold
Problem solved
(P.S. I have no idea why I wrote Selawik in one of the posts lol)

Cool.
While you were thinking about a long and boring winter, you probably dreamed about the Selawik hot springs...
