Description
When selecting font in the Style Configurator, Bold, Italic, and Underline are available.
I propose that we add the option "Light", maybe under "Underline.". I am pretty sure Scintilla allows for the selection of different font weights. Or, maybe under Font Size, we could add a dropdown or text box for "Font Weight."
