You mean the sample fonts.xml you sent me?

It does have font weights other than these two. Question is what do we
do with them?

Like I said before, our text styles and all font code recognize only
bold and regular, and not different font weights.

If you mean we should change everything to support font weights, that
will require some more fundamental changes.

I'm afraid I cannot do that right now.
