Enum FontWeight

Namespace

SharpDX.DirectWrite

Assembly

SharpDX.Direct2D1.dll

Represents the density of a typeface, in terms of the lightness or heaviness of the strokes. The enumerated values correspond to the usWeightClass definition in the OpenType specification. The usWeightClass represents an integer value between 1 and 999. Lower values indicate lighter weights; higher values indicate heavier weights.

Remarks

Weight differences are generally differentiated by an increased stroke or thickness that is associated with a given character in a typeface, as compared to a "normal" character from that same typeface. The following illustration shows an example of Normal and UltraBold weights for the Palatino Linotype typeface.

Note??Not all weights are available for all typefaces. When a weight is not available for a typeface, the closest matching weight is returned.?

Font weight values less than 1 or greater than 999 are considered invalid, and they are rejected by font API functions.
