I asked about the weight, not the style.

Emacs 29 distinguishes between 'medium' and 'regular'/'normal' weight,
and I don't think I see 'medium' in the above output (or maybe I
misunderstand it).

Can you show the numerical value of the weight for each one of the
above font varieties?  (Sorry, I don't know how to ask fc to report
that.)
