It is the contour points that are changed by Typography to make the rendered character bolder or thinner. Right?

Font-weight simulation implementation is an optional feature.
so I put it in 'Typography.Contours' module.

from pic1 (above). => contour points are dilated/ shrinked base on glyph 'core' path (see, PaintLab/PixelFarm#4 (comment)).

Another approach (simpler) may be 'scale it' only in X-axis direction. => I will investigate it.
