One point to remember is that your browser is displaying on a screen that is only capable of resolution down to 1 pixel, which is very large compared to the kind of resolution we are used to in print. The result is that using "font-weight: 200;" isn't going to make the text thinner than "font-weight: 500;" if, at the size you're using, the strokes of the letters are already 1 pixel thick; they can't get any thinner than 1 pixel without the letter vanishing. Similarly, if emboldening the letters by 600, 700 and 800 would make the strokes of the letters increase in thickness to 1.7 pixels, 1.85 pixels and 1.93 pixels, it's just going to be 2 pixels thick. When you add in the font considerations Michael Landis has already mentioned, it gets even more confusing...
