[Android][TextBlock] Font Weights are not consumed.

[Gunashree-R-V]

Platform

• Android

Author or host

Host - Teams Android app

Version of SDK

1.2.6

Issue

• Host config has an option to control font weight by providing metrics to it(As mentioned in the public documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/adaptive-cards/rendering-cards/host-config#fontweightsconfig).Updating these metrics remain unaffected on client.

• Also, the TextBlock with fontWeight=“lighter” has Italic typeface.
  The issue is illustrated in the image below:

However, desktop has normal typeface with lesser fontWeight.

Moreover it is found that each fontWeight property is mapped to Typeface as below on Android:
Lighter -> Italic
Default -> Normal
Bolder -> Bold.

On the other hand, iOS and Desktop consumes the values from hostConfig for each fontWeight and use that:

Also, attaching the relevant JSON.
