In the Character dialog, the font weight field doesn't accept number, e.g. 100, 200, 300.

It does for me.
I write directly on the Size box, the wanted size.

Oh I see there is no way to input font weight as number, sorry.

I reviewed the Character dialog now. Maybe I have something misunderstand, there are some fonts really have ability to custom font weight by number (attention, not font size), Inkscape and InDesign are already have ability to handle such fonts. But I see there are no separate widget specific for font weight. So I hope this dialog could have another input box with drop-down list for that, and allow user to input numbered font weight in there.
