I don't think this is the only place. For example, XG_WEIGHT_TO_SYMBOL looks also relevant. And there are other places in the sources that only support subsets of all the weights. If we want to make them more fine-grained, we should make them all consistent, as much as possible, modulo the limitations of the toolkit. For example, Someone™ should verify that the problem described above is not some inherent GTK limitation.
