Remarks

A font weight describes the visual weight of a font. Varying the line thickness of the strokes in the glyphs of a font is the primary way to craft fonts of different weights in a font family, but there are also other factors involved.

The members of XRFontWeight 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.
