Basic Font Attributes - Font Weight Page © RenderX 2000 XSL Formatting Objects Test Suite Basic Font Attributes - Font Weight This test contains examples of different font weights. It is conceived as an exhaustive test of all ways of expressing font weight in XSL. Helvetica: Default is normal: bold (weight=700) - normal - bold (weight=bold) - normal - bold (weight=bolder) - normal. Default is bold: normal (weight=400) - bold - normal (weight=normal) - bold - normal (weight=lighter) - bold. Font weight progression: 100 (extra light) - 200 - 300 - 400 (normal) - 500 - 600 - 700 (bold) - 800 - 900 (extra bold) Times: Default is normal: bold (weight=700) - normal - bold (weight=bold) - normal - bold (weight=bolder) - normal. Default is bold: normal (weight=400) - bold - normal (weight=normal) - bold - normal (weight=lighter) - bold. Font weight progression: 100 (extra light) - 200 - 300 - 400 (normal) - 500 - 600 - 700 (bold) - 800 - 900 (extra bold) Courier: Default is normal: bold (weight=700) - normal - bold (weight=bold) - normal - bold (weight=bolder) - normal. Default is bold: normal (weight=400) - bold - normal (weight=normal) - bold - normal (weight=lighter) - bold. Font weight progression: 100 (extra light) - 200 - 300 - 400 (normal) - 500 - 600 - 700 (bold) - 800 - 900 (extra bold) WARNING: Please note that in the font weight progressions above, we do not expect to have all weights different; it depends on the availability of weight variants for the specific font. Unless your renderer can provide for automatic font thickening, you will see only two weight grades: typically, all weights greater then 500 will be displayed as bold typeface, and all smaller weights will appear as normal. Such behaviour is not an error.
