When using ResourcesCompat.getFont to resolve a .ttf file in res/font, the returned Typeface instance always has a weight of 400 and a style of NORMAL.

On all APIs < 29, style correctly resolves to ITALIC. On API 28, weight correctly resolves to 300.

The font actually looks correct when displayed on an API 29 device, it just has the wrong values according to the Typeface instance.

The issue is reproducible in this test class. Several tests fail on API 29 only due to this issue. I've also added a temporary typefaceBug test case that uses an ActivityScenario to demonstrate that the text actually appears correctly on API 29.
