Right now in the "inspector" you can only change the font family and toggle bold with the 'B' icon. but there’s no way to set a specific font weight. It would be really nice to have a font weight field in the "inspector", so we can choose more precise values instead of just 'bold' or not. If that gets added, the Bold ('B') button wouldn’t really be needed anymore, since font weight would cover that. Idea: remove the ('B') Bold button Add a font weight input next to the font family Include preset options (e.g. bold), similar to the text size input field Concept image: https://imgur.com/a/pZrfVkb |

(btw, the CSS 'font-weight' property accepts the value 'normal' & 'bold', (which map to 400 and 700). These should also be included in the list, like in my concept image, to make it foolproof, I guess) |

The problem is - for most browser and fonts, only 400 and 700 will be shown, nothing in between. So that's just the same as "bold" and "not bold". |

From what I’ve "researched", that’s not entirely accurate. It’s true for many older fonts. However, modern fonts (especially variable fonts) support a continuous range of font weights (typically 100-900), and modern browsers render these values correctly. So I don’t think this should be a reason to not implement the feature (from a user perspective). |

Ah, interesting, didn't know that. Will look into that. |

Great! |
