Describe the bug Usernames of posts have the same font weight as the contents of the post.

Expected behavior Usernames of posts have a higher font weight than the contents of the post.

Screenshots image

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 11
  • Browser: Firefox v. 123

Additional context The username has the style font-weight: 500, and the font resolves to Segoe UI.

It looks like Segoe UI has no difference between font-weight: 400 and font-weight: 500, it only gets a different look at font-weight: 600. I found a test page that demonstrates this: http://chriskr.github.io/tests/test-segoe-ui.html

Interestingly, in Chrome, the font resolves to Segoe UI Semibold, and looks correct: image

Addendum: It looks like Segoe UI has 400 and 600 font weights, but no distinct 500 font weight. Firefox rounds it down to 400, while Chrome rounds it up to 600.
