Jspdf: Set font weight?

[liftarn]

Ok, we have _setFont(fontName, fontStyle)_ where we can set the font name and style. We have _setFontSize(size)_ that sets the font size. We also have _setFontStyle(style)_ to set the font style.
Ok, how to go about setting the font weight? There is no _setFontWeight()_

Font weight is currently set by just changing the font name used. See the example at jsPDF.com—

OK, that is not an option for me.
Thanks anyway.

Hmm, are you adding your own non-bold font?

Well, closing anyway ;-)

setFontType() isn't documented in the https://mrrio.github.io/jsPDF/doc/symbols/jsPDF.html

But you can see it used in http://mrrio.github.io/jsPDF/examples/basic.html

doc.setFontType("bold");
doc.text(20, 20, "This is a bold paragraph");

doc.setFontType("normal")
doc.text(40, 40, "This is a normal font paragraph");

I'd like to have this ticket re-opened:

Why:
eg. Roboto-Medium corresponds to a font-weight of 500.

Currently it's not possible to correctly define the font in css with the font-face declaration:
@font-face { font-family: 'Roboto'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 500; src: local('Roboto Medium'), local('Roboto-Medium'), font('Roboto-Medium.woff2') format('woff2'), font('Roboto-Medium.woff') format('woff'); font-display: swap; }

.. and render it in jspdf with:
doc.addFileToVFS('Roboto-Medium.ttf', robotoMedium); doc.addFont('Roboto-Medium.ttf', 'Roboto', 'normal');

since we're missing the font-weight in the function above:
doc.addFont('Roboto-Medium.ttf', 'Roboto', 'normal', '500);
