Nav text is bold despite typography settings
5 replies · Started by Brittany on April 16, 2017
GP seems to be adding weight to any font I set as a main nav menu option.
I went through the Typography customizer setting every weight to 100 to see if I could fix the issue using that, but no luck. The only weight setting that seems to alter it at all is selecting 'bold.'
Hi Brittany,
Don't think I'm seeing the problem. This is what I see:

The code also suggested that it's using font weight 100:
.main-navigation a, .menu-toggle {
font-family: "Century Gothic";
font-weight: 100;
text-transform: lowercase;
}Are you seeing something different? Are you able to provide a screenshot? Thanks!
This is what I see vs. regular century gothic in text editor:

Century gothic was the font I found with the least distortion, but it's worse for others.
Here's the same issue shown with Abel:

I know it's a slight difference, but it seems like theres a setting somewhere. In the menu, there's not as much spacing between characters, and the 'ends' of the letters are looking slightly rounded. The effect is most noticeable on the 's'
Hmm can you try clearing browser cache or you've already done that?
Just tried it. No change, unfortunately.

It's possible you have that font installed on your computer, but you don't have the 100 variant. Your browser will use your computer version + the closest variant.
