The 500 weight makes the font look bold in both Firefox and Chrome. Both Latest. Windows 8.

Thanks both. Fine in Linux - but will make some changes for those on lesser OSes :-)

Linux-on-the-desktop superiority complexes are usually annoying- but this one is especially amusing to me, since you're replying to a thread about discovering a major deficiency in your font rendering.

We all have our blind spots :-)

indeed. I've dealt with, what feels like, every possible font rendering issue on linux. something of a pet peeve of mine. :)

that said: if you have a screenshot of your browser w/ the font showing and what desktop env+browser you're in, I can probably tell you what's wrong.

Actually it looks bold on Linux too.
