Re: Comment #17

"As for the "synthetic" fonts (generated by Pango), I plan on turning those 
off."

This will be very much appreciated!


"CSS does not define a weight of 1000."

I'm unclear as to how this affects the issue I reported in comment #15.
Regarding the font files I attached to that comment, I doubt that the
font designer's choice of numeric style names, including the name
"1000", directly relate to the numeric CSS font weights listed at
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-fonts/ . As the font was designed with six
weights, and CSS defines nine weights, it seems to me that the font's
six styles could be mapped to CSS weights. **However, within the
Inkscape UI, the style names defined by the font's designer should be
displayed, and not any other names of weights as defined in CSS or
Pango.**

To quote the CSS working draft: "The CSS font selection mechanism merely
provides a way to determine the “closest” substitute when substitution
is necessary."
