Oh, that offending comment:)
I put in that comment after finding that about half of the fonts installed
on my system, including the standard Microsoft fonts, the weights 500 and
600 are used, which are not named at all in the Pango list of weights.
I've named them 'Medium' and 'Demibold'.  Unfortunately there doesn't seem
to be any consensus on these names.
