Changing font type within a font family does not work in Visual Studio 2022

Question

After installing several fonts with semi-bold styles, I'm encountering an issue where selecting these styles in Visual Studio doesn't apply the semi-bold weight. This problem persists across Visual Studio 2022 versions 17.7.5 and 17.8.0 Preview 7.0, even after a system restart. Interestingly, while the issue occurs with various fonts, the default 'Cascadia Mono' font works correctly.
Is there a way to adjust font-weight like VSCode.
The accompanying images demonstrate that despite the settings indicating a semi-bold style, it is not reflected in the code editor.

Hello @Alex,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

How did you install the fonts into Visual Studio? Can you confirm that the installed fonts are completely compatible with Visual Studio 2022?

I tested on my side with VS 2022 17.7.6, and I failed to reproduce this issue, please kindly try following:

1. Make sure that the fonts you are going to install support Visual Studio 2022.
2. Try to reset VS settings by closing VS and running devenv /ResetSettings command in Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio 2022.
3. Try to reinstall the fonts(for example, open the .ttf file > click Install > replace the installed fonts).

Sincerely,

Tianyu
