In a few sentences

In brief

font-weight selects weight, but available faces depend on the chosen family. Specifying 700 does not establish that a separate font file of that weight has loaded.

Useful to know

font-weight selects weight, but available faces depend on the chosen family. Specifying 700 does not establish that a separate font file of that weight has loaded. [1]
