Adjust font weight for some of the HUD text, to accommodate Xolonium 3.0

username-removed-51285 requested to merge sev/font_weights into master

This merge request depends on xonotic!11 (merged)

The new version of the Xolonium font features a bolder bold version, because the two weights were too similar, esp. at small sizes.
However, with a bolder bold, some of the HUD text becomes too dense. Therefore, this branch makes the following changes:

Bold to Regular

  • Scoreboard column titles
    (These are too small for the new bold.)
  • Weapon panel binds/numbers/names
    (These are quite small and not very important, hence bold is not crucial anyway.)
  • Race panel auxiliary info
    (The running time is large and important, hence it remains bold. The other info (checkpoint delta, penalty) is a lot smaller and not bold anymore.)

Regular to Bold

  • Health/Armor panel numbers
    (Arguably the most important text on screen, hence they should be bold.)
