You didn't go far enough.
In a test I ran font-weight 1 to 599 came up as 'normal', 600 to 999 'bold'.
Font-weight does not do what you think it does. It is not a gradual "sizing"
like font-size. The numbers are translated into the nearest "weight"
provided in the font. Most fonts only have two, normal and bold. Some only
have one.
And no, you can't change that. Font weight is a property of the font, that
is the .ttf, not the browser or the OS.
