The numbers are?  The data ends up in font-weight-table, but this is the
only place I can find in faces.el that uses that variable:

(defun face-valid-attribute-values (attribute &optional frame)

[...]

           (:weight
	    (mapcar #'(lambda (x) (cons (symbol-name (aref x 1)) (aref x 1)))
		    font-weight-table))
