Headings not bold be default

Hi,

I've noticed that headings are not bold by default in Chromium browsers (including Chrome) on Mac when "System" font is selected. The usual behavior returns with "Sans Serif" font selected (but I'm not much of a fan of that due to the spacing between bullets). This issue does not happen with the desktop app, Safari, or Firefox.

Thanks,

Alex

  Hi Alex,

  Correct! The headings are bold by default everywhere... and it may certainly depend on the font. Some fonts don't have a very noticeable bold formatting.

  Hi Frank,

  Thanks for your quick reply. So, for instance, using the same 'System Font' selection, I get the following in Safari, Firefox, and the desktop app on Mac:

  But this on Chrome, Brave, etc.
  This is not a bug, then? I was hoping that the user experience would be similar, assuming the same font selection, across browsers. 

  Thanks!

  Hi Alexander,

  Indeed... the "System" font is not the name of a specific font family... but rather the default font that your system (OS and/ or browser) is using... and so it will change from machine to machine. If you install an extension that lets you know what font is being used then you will see the real name of each font depending on the browser.

  If you want a homogeneous experience across browsers I would recommend choosing another font which is not "System"
