It seems that the "medium" one is the least wrong, but changes behaviour for DemiBold for fonts that only have Regular and Bold.

I'm not sure why "medium+demibold/2" for DemiBold selects a font heavier than Bold. Will investigate as fixing that could yield best results with smallest behaviour change.
