Font weight set as normal but is displaying in bold on browser

May 13, 2022

I have font weight set to normal for .meta, .sender, .to, and .receiver. However, this still shows the text as bold for all the content in the middle of the box. I am not quite sure what I am doing wrong and why it’s not changing to normal.

All of the below content should not be in bold:

>Solution :

The problem seems to lie in the way the font file is being addressed.

Adding a www to the url in the import has cured it at least for me on Edge/Chrome and Firefox on Windows10. A ‘normal’ weight font is now picked up.
