Hmm. Ok. This does mean that Gecko and WebKit will need to change their implementation. At least on OS X 10.5, 'bolder' goes from 100 to 200 and so on. Which is quite intuitive. But I can see the point of having the calculation independent from the font-family. > ... > Using specific weights will always offer a > much finer degree of control.
