Interesting test.
On my Ubuntu system, Chrome 9 and Opera 11 did not render the DejaVu
100 text -- it was as if only normal and bold existed. However,
Firefox rendered the typeface correctly -- DejaVu 100 was used for
weights 100 to 300.

Dunno why it didn't work in Chrome 9 and Opera 11, seems to be a bug.
