Describe your issue

I just started to use tailwind (jumped straight to v4) and I'm building my existing design system under my css file. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I tried plenty of options and I just cant to unset all the existing tailwind's font-weights.

@theme {
    /* tried to unset this */
    --font-*: initial;
    /* and also this */
    --font-weight-*: initial;

    --font-weight-extraBold: 800;
    --font-weight-bold: 700;
    --font-weight-semiBold: 600;
    --font-weight-normal: 400;
}

here it what I get on intellisense, it even multiplies the stuff

--font-weight-*: initial; should work, as exhibited in this Tailwind Play.

The extra:

--font-weight-extraBold: 800;
--font-weight-bold: 700;
--font-weight-semiBold: 600;
--font-weight-normal: 400;

After is adding them back in

@idan-faibish Is the issue here that you're seeing these in IntelliSense even if you have removed it? In that case this issue is likely a duplicate of tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-intellisense#1133 and got to do with a bug in IntelliSense. We'll look into it next week!

if I understand correctly, then yes, it is probably the same issue I guess 🤷🏻

what I noticed is that when unsetting the font-weights, only intellisense shows them but when trying to apply them (for example: font-extrabold) it does nothing, so it means that the style is indeed not exists which is great.

so I think it is indeed just an intellisense issue

This will be fixed in the next patch release of Tailwind CSS. Thanks for reporting it. ✨
