I've been doing front end development for a long time, and I have NEVER come across a bug like this before...
Save the following HTML to a file and view it in Firefox (mine is 3.6.3):
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body { font-family: Helvetica, Sans-Serif;}
h2 {font-weight: normal;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Some normal text <strong>some bold text</strong> weird huh?</h2>
</body>
</html>
If you don't want to give it a shot the output is like your cat walked across your keyboard while character map was turned on, except in the strong tags.
I feel like this may be a font issue? When I get rid of font-weight: normal it goes back to normal, but I don't want everything to be bolded in my h2... Anyone have any ideas? More importantly, is anyone able to reproduce this??
Thanks.
