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. Yes, implementations would need to change. But this will need to happen to some extent since the behavior today is not clearly defined and there are subtle differences in implementations. It's a fine point but Gecko only goes from 100 to 200 if faces for both weights exist, but that's probably what you meant. John
