Is there a common font that usese the 'lighter' attribute?

For along time w3schools have listed the 'lighter' attribute for fonts styles.

There is also a very, very short list of "web safe fonts". Which seems a little nutty, don't the current web browsers and OS load all kinds of fonts?.

In all honesty, the lighter attribute (like many of the font attributes) seem useless to the extreme if the browsers on the web do not recognize the fonts.

I would hope by this time that someone has had the gumption to publish an 'unofficial' longer list of fonts that are recognized by most all browsers, if so does anybody know of that list and any recognized font truly useful to the 'lighter' attribute?

    Script for the font:

    <p style="font-weight : 400;">

    This paragraph is a normal weight.
