    Po Lu> Right, but the problem is different: X doesn't support medium at all,

for

    Po Lu> 0    Undefined
    Po Lu> 10   UltraLight
    Po Lu> 20   ExtraLight       
    Po Lu> 30   Light    
    Po Lu> 40   SemiLight
    Po Lu> 50   Medium
    Po Lu> 60   SemiBold
    Po Lu> 70   Bold     
    Po Lu> 80   ExtraBold
    Po Lu> 90   UltraBold

OK, but we could still fix this niggle in `font_unparse_xlfd' (if I
call it a regression, can it go in emacs-29? 😸)
