There was a long thread touching upon these issues in the bug tracker
somewhere.  Basically, Gtk tells us the font weights in PANGO_WEIGHT_*,
and we map these to symbols according to spec, see xg_weight_to_symbol.
And then we map these to a 0-255 scale in weight_table, and it's these
weights that are really in the fonts.

And PANGO and the fonts don't always agree about these things.

If I remember correctly; it's been several months since I looked at this
last, and I've already managed to suppress most of it.
