  • Article

Returns or sets an Integer that specifies the lthe darkness of the type. Read/write.

Syntax

expression .Weight

expression A variable that represents a Font object.

Remarks

The Weight property accepts values from 0 to 1000. A value of zero allows the system to pick the most appropriate weight. A value from 1 to 1000 indicates a specific weight, where 1 represents the lightest type and 1000 represents the darkest type.

The font's appearance on screen and in print may differ, depending on your computer and printer. If you select a font that your system can't display with the specified attribute or that isn't installed, Windows substitutes a similar font. The substitute font will be as similar as possible to the font originally requested.

Changing the value of Bold also changes the value of Weight. Setting Bold to True sets Weight to 700; setting Bold to False sets Weight to 400. Conversely, setting Weight to anything over 550 sets Bold to True; setting Weight to 550 or less sets Bold to False.
