findByWeightback to summary
public static FontWeight findByWeight(int weight)

Returns the closest FontWeight for a weight value as defined by the CSS and OpenType specifications.

This lookup is without reference to a font, so this is purely a mapping to the set of FontWeight instances and does not mean that a font of that weight will be available.

Returns:FontWeight

closest FontWeight
