Hi,

I tried many ways to set the font correctly in the editor area, GtkDrawingArea, 
but it did not produce the desired effect. I set the font to “IBM Plex Mono 
Light Italic”, [13…20] pt in the font selection dialog, and in the 
color_scheme.conf file I set:

`
[named_styles]
default=#000;#fbfaf9;false;true
`

Unfortunately, the letters are drawn in the “IBM Plex Mono Text Italic” font.
According to the information I found: 

`
[category] = [foreground color]; [background color]; [is Bold]; [is Italic]
`

the `is Bold` parameter can only have a value of true or false. Wouldn't it be 
better if you could set numerical values here to specify the font weight? 
Alternatively, these may be terms such as Bold, Normal, Text, Light, etc.

This is how it looks on

 and

Sincerely,

PS. Ideally, all font parameters should be set in a dialog box without having 
to fiddle with files.
