Description

Changes the font weight.
The font weight specifies the thickness or boldness of a font. Not all fonts are available in a bold style; such a font style can then be emulated only. The property FontWeight specifies the weight that should be emulated. The visual weight of a font depends on the base weight in that the font was defined. For example, the glyphs of an ultra-light font look also light if an extra-bold weight will be emulated.

However, a bold font will never be emulated if the font is already available in a bold style. To disable the emulation of bold fonts set the property to 100 or 0.

Font weights:
  • 100 - 300 // Ultra-light, Light
  • 400 - 500 // Standard
  • 600 - 1000 // Bold, Extrabold
