Here are the names as collected in the `fontname' package for TeX (not
ordered):

>From $TEXMF/fontname/weight.map:

  Thin = Hairline
  Bold
  Black
  Demi
  Heavy = Heavyface
  ExtraLight
  Book
  Light
  Medium
  Poster
  Regular Roman
  Semibold
  Ultra = UltraBlack
  ExtraBold = ExtraBlack

Maybe this helps.
