@dan I have noticed something strange going on with text in the latest build.

If I have some text set to be SEMI-BOLD, there are times at different breakpoints where it appears to switch to BOLD. This only shows up in the browser, not in the editor. See below.

SEMI-BOLD

BOLD

I am not changing the font style at the different breakpoints. This not something I have seen before the 0.8.0 release.

Oh, that’s not good. Could you share a project containing that page so we can reproduce the issue here?

We can then dig in and find out what’s going on!

@dan I have found it happens on most of my sites where I’m using the SEMI-BOLD style.

But it might be a browser issue as I notice it most often when in the Responsive Design Mode and I’m moving between various sizes.

You should be able to see it by looking at the live site - [https://hanalei-fins.com/](https://hanalei-fins.com/)

If not I can upload the site.

As I mentioned it was just something that caught my eye after todays release, I had not noticed this before.

Hi @handshaper,

I think the issue you’re seeing is likely due to the fact that the **“semi bold” font weight isn’t supported** by the Righteous font you’re using for the headings.

The “Enhance the flow…” heading is using the **Righteous** font family with a font weight of 600 (semi bold). However, Righteous only includes a **single weight—400** —so applying 600 won’t have any visual effect (or the browser might do strange things, like in this case).

To fix this, you have two options:

- Set the heading font weight to **Normal** (400)
- Or switch to a **font that supports multiple weights**

Hope that helps! 🙂

Mahalo, @ben

That makes sense I’ll change to the normal weight, or use a more expansive font.
