I’m trying to adjust the font weight rather than just “bold”. It appears to be doing nothing on Verdana text. Has browser support for this dropped or something?

    Numeric and other less usual font-weight properties (like semi-bold, book etc.) are supported very poorly across browsers, and AFAIK relevant only if the font itself provides support for the given value (i.e. has a explicit book or 900 font weight defined). So it’s not really a sensible thing to use if consistency is desired.

    See Are all css font-weight property’s values useful?

    And reference info at the W3C
