This appears to have snuck in as part of #7790, which claimed to only be a bugfix but introduced a new font_weight method.

I believe there's no way to access the method from public code since it's only defined on FontsImpl, not the public-facing FontsView. It's also not used privately in epaint, meaning it's completely dead code.

Even if we do want some sort of future API for getting a font's weight, it requires more consideration. For instance, this API will return the default weight for variable fonts, which is not documented anywhere and might not be what we want.

This appears to have snuck in as part of
emilk#7790, which claimed to only be a
bugfix but introduced a new `font_weight` method.

I believe there's no way to access the method from *public* code since
it's only defined on `FontsImpl`, not the public-facing `FontsView`.
It's also not used *privately* in epaint, meaning it's completely dead
code.

Even if we *do* want some sort of future API for getting a font's
weight, it requires more consideration. For instance, this API will
return the default weight for variable fonts, which is not documented
anywhere and might not be what we want.
