It's a little bit better in light mode, but not really much...

The weird thing is the font used on Discussions seems to be the same than on the Wiki namespace, where it can appear as bold.

What browser are you using?

I have a suspect. It appears that Fandom has some CSS declaration that resets some properties for many elements. It looks like this:

a, abbr, acronym, some, huge, list, of, elements {
    border: 0;
    font: normal normal normal 100% inherit;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    vertical-align: baseline
}

The one on "font" basically makes everything in normal font, turning off bold, italic, underline etc., but on my Chrome it's marked as invalid and doesn't take effect, probably because the "inherit" keyword can't be used as part of a values list. Perhaps some browsers do allow it.

I'm using Firefox 115.13.0esr.

> but on my Chrome it's marked as invalid

My browser also marks the font declaration as invalid in this rule.

> makes everything in normal font

Italic in Discussions actually works for me.

"I'm using Firefox 115.13.0esr."

Same :)

But is was the same in earlier versions for what I recall.

That css reset mentioned above is the same that is loaded in both discussions and in the wiki part, but bold works perfect in the wiki. It's only in discussion posts where it's almost not visible. It also works fine in MessageWalls btw.

Another thing. I experienced the same than Oot42: the difference between normal & bold text is not so great actually. So I chose to force the default font (Nato in my case) to override any other. I think Nato has actually a lighter normal font, that makes the bold text bolder ^^ (Rubik remains a good choice to me though - since i find it highly readable.)

I also use NoScript, but I have nocookie.net allowed.

Still it shows different to me than in MessageWalls or the wiki part.

It's not that is doesn't show bold at all, but just only very vaguely, as you can see in my screenshots above.

That's confusing indeed 🧐 I note i didn't see bold text on Discussions & Page comments only.
