public class Weight
extends org.freedesktop.bindings.Flag

Constants used for selecting the weight of a font. NORMAL is the default corresponding to text as we are generally accustomed to seeing it.

A common use of these constants is to make text in a TextView strong; use TextTag's setWeight() and pass in BOLD.

Note that most fonts do not implement all the values here. If you specify a weight that is not directly available, the result should be approximated by the closest one, but you are somewhat at the mercy of the $diety as to what you actually get.
