Thanks.  I think this means that Emacs 29 on master now rejects the
Inconsolata_dz font for some reason, or thinks it finds a better
match.  The fact that it picks a condensed family is probably
secondary; the main issue here is that the font family you requested
is rejected.

Does that family have the regular weight?  If not, maybe that's the
reason it is rejected, and you need to also require some specific
:weight value in your set-face-attribute call.

Also, maybe running

  $ FC_DEBUG=1282 emacs -Q

will give us a clue of what happens.  See

  https://www.freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/fontconfig-user.html#DEBUG

for where I took that weird value.

Robert, any other ideas?

If this doesn't help, I'm afraid the only way forward is to step
through the code which selects a font when you specify the family for
the default face, and see what happens there and why.
