[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57449] struct2hdl fails to set property with erroneous "invalid value"

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #57449 (project octave):

Separate from whether struct2hdl should ignore an element which has errors
during creation, the cause of this particular failure are the allowed values
for the "FontWeight" property.

Matlab has deprecated and removed "demi" and "light", which leaves allowable
values of "normal" or "bold".  See documentation at
https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matlab.graphics.primitive.text-properties.html.

Octave has followed Matlab's behavior in order to remain compatible.  In the
NEWS file for what will become the Octave 6 release there is this statemnt:
