Remarks
A font weight describes the relative weight of a font, in terms of the lightness or heaviness of the strokes. Weight differences are generally differentiated by an increased stroke or thickness that is associated with a given character in a font, as compared to a "normal" character from that same font.
The FontWeights values correspond to the usWeightClass
definition in the OpenType specification. The usWeightClass
represents an integer value between 1 and 999. Lower values indicate lighter weights; higher values indicate heavier weights.
