Sorry to be so slow responding. I think Vincent is taking August off, but is still working on the font integration work. Manuel and I have had an off-line conversation about the bolder/lighter issue, and I think we will need to improve both the interface and the implementation to handle this and the similar issues for font-stretch. I'll work on that in the next week or two. > BTW, while very briefly looking at parts of the FOray/aXSL > font selection code I noticed at least one instance where it > relied on a JDK > 1.4 API call.

However, I don't know that there are any 1.4 dependencies in the font code. Victor Mote
