Actually, it does allow that, as can be seen with some other fonts. The issue with Lucida Console is that it does not have a bold weight, so there is only the Normal (400) weight which is then selected by the new font weight tweaking algorithm. >> I set it to 800, looks fine now. No problem, just tinkering required. This is obviously inconsistent with the behaviour of mapping 700 to Normal.
