Description
I don't know if its currently possible (I didn't get working results for macOS when I looked it up) so I made an issue.
I'm on macOS and want to specify SF Pro Display Medium (from a built-in font family) as the font for OSD and subs. The following didn't work:
- Just the name like so (this usually works in browser CSS and many other apps):
osd-font="SF Pro Display Medium" - The name as shown in
fc-list: `osd-font="SFProDisplay-Medium"

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the handling for the osd-font option and the macOS font lookup path, then determine whether a family and specific weight can be selected. Done means SF Pro Display Medium works for OSD and subtitles through a documented font value.
