IIRC, some renderers entirely bypass the Panose metadata. I can't remember which though (might be Kindle/M7, Kindle/KF8, might be Nickel/ADE, might be Nickel/kePub, and I don't think we care in KOReader either, because we're not using fontconfig).

Do note that I'm pretty sure this doesn't affect weight at all, it affects what the renderer *thinks* the weight of that font is. i.e., that specific bit in the WiKi is to fix Nickel 'missing' the Book/Medium weight, and instead falling back to bold, and as such rendering (mostly) everything with the bold style of the family.
