Anybody know if it's possible to change the weight of a
Font beyond normal (SWT.NORMAL) and bold (SWT.BOLD)?

I'd like to be able to get lighter and darker weights of Fonts.

Changing more than that will make your application use
classes which are platform dependant. Have a look at
the FontData class, which for example for windows uses
the LOGFONT class to set properties to the font. Its possible
to change options in there but they wont work on other
OS than windows (they wont even compile there).
