Feature request: support variable fontWeight tokens

[LauraKalbag]

I don’t think this is a niche request for typography lovers!

We’d need variable font support first. (User story here if anyone wants to add their use cases! It’s on the roadmap!) Right now, you can use variable fonts from Google fonts or upload variable fonts, but only use them at the predefined weights and styles.

A key practical benefit of fontWeight tokens is to alias ‘magic’ numbers of a variable weight axis to more memorable aliases, e.g. font.weight.default: 420 font.weight.thicc: 744. Given that the standard 100–step values (up too 900) are already well-aliased in most tools and languages, it almost feels pointless to set weight tokens in Penpot.

Such a great point.
