Does KePub support font-weight?

I have an eBook that is using font-weight: 500;. Does KePub support this?

It does but not all that well depending on the font used. In my old test ePub, if those numeric weights aren't supported, 100-500 will show up as normal while 600-950 will show up as bold with my current reading font. I've attached a screenshot from firmware 6.0.276679 where oddly, the font weight 950 does show bolder than 900.
