Your are right, in Format->Character when I select the Swiss 721 font I see
Light, Light Italic, Standard and Italic.

When I select "Light" I can write in the Light style. When I select "Bold" in
the toolbar I get the medium style, but when I then unselect "Bold" it stays
with that style and does not return to the "Light" one.

Don't know how this should work in an application, but for example there are 32
styles of the Swiss 721 font. http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/bitstream/swiss-721/

I'd think that Swiss 721 in the toolbar should be the "normal" Roman version
with italic, bold and bold italic styles being chosen when you klick the icons
in the toolbar.

But what do you do with styles like light, thin, medium, condensed or black?
They do not really fit in this scheme. Is medium a bold light? Is light then the
bold thin?

the font selector then having the application trying to interpret these styles
in some way.

This different on Windows, there these fonts are correctly named and seperate in
the selector.
