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.
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.
