Working on - JDK-8090423 - [Font] Support Font Weights other than Bold and Regular, like Light

[Philip Race]

I was mulling over why if it is so easy we didn't do it and I suspect
(haven't checked, and so long ago I can't remember off hand) that
this code needed to run on top of the old Java 2D pipeline (wrongly
called the Swing pipeline). And 2D did not and does not provide
this functionality either.
