<h3 class="section">Weights</h3>

<p>The <dfn>weight</dfn> of a font specifies its boldness.  Arranged from
lightest to heaviest (more or less):

<pre class="display">     hairline, extra light, light
     book, regular, medium
     demibold, semibold, bold, extra bold, heavy
     black, ultra, poster
     </pre>

   <p>Here is the table, from the file <code>weight.map</code>.  It is organized
alphabetically by abbreviation.  Each line consists of an abbreviation
and any parts of a PostScript <code>FontName</code> which use that
abbreviation.

<pre class="example">

     a Thin Hairline
     b Bold
     c Black
     d Demi
     h Heavy Heavyface
     j ExtraLight
     k Book
     l Light
     m Medium
     p Poster
     r Regular Roman
     s Semibold
     u Ultra UltraBlack
