iOS: Fix font weight resolution
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Summary:
**Issue:**
Some fonts are defined with weights that don't match with the UIFontWeight constants.

**Example:**
UIFontWeightTraits for Roboto font
Light: -0.230
Thin: -0.365

Currently, the UIFontWeightTrait is always used if it != 0.0, and given the UIFontWeight constants for Light and Thin:
UIFontWeightThin -0.6
UIFontWeightLight -0.4

A style font weight of "300" or "200" will both resolve to Roboto-Thin as its weight -0.365 is closer to -0.4 (UIFontWeightLight) and -0.6 (UIFontWeightThin) than -0.230 (Roboto-Light).

**Proposed fix:**
When resolving `getWeightOfFont` try to match the name of weight to the name of the font first, and guess the font with UIFontWeightTrait as the fall back.

**Test Plan:**
Attempt to display Roboto at weights "200" and "300" and Roboto-Thin and Roboto-Light should be displayed correctly.

Current:

I had to fix/tweak new weights to put my app's look back to how it was before RN 0.48. How rendered font weight may change on RN 0.48 upgrade should be a bigger warning in release notes.

@fungilation - was a breaking change for me too. Looks like application of bold vs. semibold, light vs. extralight is kind of broken in 48 too, but has now been fixed in this commit d3007b0
