[XeTeX] How to access different style of a same font?

[Mi CHEN]

Hi, JK

Thanks for your reply! Actually I'm using Linux + TeXlive 2008. As you said,
they can be called by STHeiti-Regular and STHeiti-Light respectively. Also,
STHei:style=Light can be also called by STXihei. The font property of the
result pdf also says it contains STXihei.
