final FontStyle defaultStyle = new FontStyle(
    (style & Typeface.BOLD) != 0 ? FontStyle.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD
       : FontStyle.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL,
    (style & Typeface.ITALIC) != 0 ? FontStyle.FONT_SLANT_ITALIC
       : FontStyle.FONT_SLANT_UPRIGHT
);

return new Typeface.CustomFallbackBuilder(familyBuilder.build())
    .setStyle(defaultStyle)
    .build();

This part will make the final Typeface lost the correct font-weight from the FontInfo. For example, request for a font with 500 weight, but the final Typeface has 400 weight. This will make the fallback font incorrectly displayed.

The fix is to use the style from the best-matched font, just like the platform, https://cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/+/android-11.0.0_r1:frameworks/base/graphics/java/android/graphics/Typeface.java;l=276-285.
