Default	0
Range	-7 to 7 (less than -7 maps to -7; greater than 7 maps to 7)

Designates the thickness of the strokes that compose the characters of a font.

If the designated stroke weight is unavailable and 0 or greater, the closest thicker weight is selected. If a thicker weight is unavailable, the closest thinner weight is selected.

If the designated stroke weight is unavailable and less than 0, the closest thinner weight is selected. If a thinner weight is unavailable, the closest thicker weight is selected.

Many typefaces were designed for advertising, and a “medium” was used to describe the stan- dard treatment. Later, additional treatments were designed for text use. Therefore, the type- face treatment designation “medium” may not always take a HP PCL value of 0. This value may be assigned to “book” or “text” instead.
