2.3 Weights
===========

The "weight" of a font specifies its boldness.  Arranged from lightest
to heaviest (more or less):

     hairline, extra light, light
     book, regular, medium
     demibold, semibold, bold, extra bold, heavy
     black, ultra, poster

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

     b Bold

     d Demi
     h Heavy Heavyface
