You're using Trebuchet MS, which tends to look a little bold even in normal weight. The font looks correct to me in IE7 and FF3 on a Windows machine at 120 DPI with ClearType enabled. If I go into Firebug and change the font-weight to bold, I do see a bolder font as expected. How about posting a screenshot or two if the font you're getting that doesn't look right, and I can compare it with what I'm seeing? -Mike ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
