Help with Font Weight declaration

Hello,

I am having trouble with font weight on my friend's WP blog.

http://www.bjrtechnologies.com/wp

the post text needs a stronger text but not exactly bold

the problem I am having is that font-weight seems not to work

if I declare font-weight: bold the text will bold

but no number declaration will work

can someone write a CSS declaration that should work to bolden the post text

 

Try adding numbers instead of bold. For example you can try out font-weight: 100; to font-weight: 900;. Just test it out each to get the weight you prefer. Apart from bold you can use bolder or lighter as well. Hope it helps.

 

Thanks for asking this question. It provoked me to dig up why i never got any number value to work like as you desire a bit bold but not exactly very bold.

It seems many regular font families don't have different font-weight values apart from normal and bold [which i guess pretty much includes all websafe fonts like arial, tahoma, verdana, georgia]

As this W3C page says

Also looks like Myriad Pro has different weight values supported, so this guy managed to achieve that effect with 100, 200, 300 values - http://www.clagnut.com/blog/2228/

I guess you have to be satisfied with bold. Or if the titles are Georgia, how about testing with font-weight:normal and font-size:23px; does that look somewhat similar to ur expectations?

 

I have tried font-weight: bold and it works

I have tried every numer between 100 and 900 and it doesn't work.

so the conclusion then is Georgia con on be normal or bold and a font weight number can't be used?
