Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-4] Percentages in font-weight for relative weights

> I don't think you can get this to work in the general case anyway; afaik there's no rule that says "weight 800 has the same thickness as 400 at twice the size"... Nor does 50% of the parent's font weight necessarily mean half its stroke thickness. The numbers are just an arbitrary per-font scale.

Obviously this would need to be tweaked on a per-font basis, but at least once you figure out the scale for a given font, that's it, whereas right now you have to tweak it individually for each font size and weight!!
