Hi,

I have a bold rendering bold on chrome (mac os only). "Attachments, chrome-mac.jpg"

I do not have this problem on other browsers (ios, android, linux, windows). "Attachments, other-chrome.png Is the original"

The bug is not on firefox and on safari (mac os)

regards,

I’ve seen similar bold rendering issues on Chrome for macOS before — sometimes it’s related to how Chrome handles font smoothing compared to Safari or Firefox. One workaround is to test with different font weights or use a text generator tool to create consistent bold styling across platforms. You can try this bold text generator to generate bold text that looks the same regardless of the browser or OS.

Hi,

As I understand this is google font used in Themler, right? Could you please try to set latin-extended subset under the Design tab >> Fonts >> Font Options. This helps in some cases.

Please let us know the result.

Thank you,
Olivia
