...it is very difficult to get a font weight smaller than 400 (normal), such as 100... you won't find light versions of commonly used fonts.
This thread got me to investigating a little. http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/Font/fonts-weightier.html should show at least some readers that weights lighter than 400 do exist in at least a couple of commonly available families, one of which is free and available to all, and installed by default on most Linux systems. I was dumbfounded to discover Helvetica Neue actually has two weights lighter than 400, and am at a loss to fathom how lighter than normal/400 is technically possible at the minescule 12px size so commonly used by web pages (though my displays' DPI are higher than average, they're not _that_ high).
