Is there a particular reason why when I have a font- weight="bolder", it

Perhaps because "bolder" isn't implemented yet... :-\

I wonder why it wasn't just aliased to "bold" until a better option became available.

Weird, the property resolution code to compute the correct value for "bolder" seems to be OK, so I always thought this was implemented, but now that you mention it, I went looking and it seems no tests have been added to check for this.

Just checked it and, contrary to what I seemed to remember, the properties' values are not OK Plus, FOP's font-subsystem that apparently doesn't know what to do with it yet...
(see FontState.getFontState())

First, I'll see if the replacement of the keywords by a numerical value (normal=400, bold=700) cannot be done during property resolution. Then it still becomes a matter of teaching the font- subsystem to do something sensible with those values. Note that numeric values in the range '100' to '500' currently all have the same result as 'normal', and the values '600' to '900' are interpreted simply as bold.


Cheers,

Andreas
