Description

Using font weight of 700 doesn't cause text using bold escape code to display in bold (reverts to normal weight for both regular and italics text).

**Changing to bold keyword did work though.** Could be the web thing used treats 500 or 600 as bold instead due to small size typical of terminals? Just a theory though - have not tested this. Once the cause is identified, it may need to be updated in the instruction page for installing custom fonts.

Screenshot shows pre and post updating the CSS and updating the font in Blink (see config command for time it was changed).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported behavior in Blink using a custom font and the font-weight 700 CSS change, comparing the bold escape code with the bold keyword for regular and italic text. Inspect the custom-font installation instructions and the related CSS or font configuration; done means weight 700 renders bold or the supported weight behavior is documented clearly.
