What Lua does get is `conky_config`, the config file's path, so `dashboard.lua` opens that file and parses the hex out of it. **Cairo has no Black font weight.** `CAIRO_FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD` is the maximum, so -the heavy clock numerals ask for the family `Noto Sans Black` at normal weight. +a heavier cut is selected by the family name fontconfig registers for it, e.g. +`Noto Sans Black` or `Oswald SemiBold` at normal weight, rather than by asking +for bold. + +**Fonts are per-widget when a widget wants one.** `lib/card.lua` holds the +shared `FONT_*` families, but `card.font()` takes any family string, so a +widget passes its own. The clock uses `FONT_CLOCK` (Oswald, OFL-1.1, under +`~/.fonts/o/Oswald`) for squared numerals while the weather card keeps +`FONT_HEAVY`. Check a new family with `fc-match` first: fontconfig silently +substitutes a default for a name it does not know, which looks exactly like the +font "not applying". **Sensors are globbed by hwmon `name`, never by index.** Indices drift across kernel and hardware reorders, and a stale one silently reports a different chip. |
