<a name="index-weight"></a>

<p>The <em>weight</em> of a font specifies its boldness.  Arranged from
lightest to heaviest (more or less):
</p>
<div class="display">
<pre class="display">hairline, extra light, light
book, regular, medium
demibold, semibold, bold, extra bold, heavy
black, ultra, poster
</pre></div>

<a name="index-weight_002emap"></a>
<p>Here is the table, from the file <samp>weight.map</samp>.  It is organized
alphabetically by abbreviation.  Each line consists of an abbreviation
and any parts of a PostScript &lsquo;<samp>FontName</samp>&rsquo; which use that
abbreviation.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">a Thin Hairline
