I find the normal font too light for my board's forum titles and topic titles, and the bold font too thick, so I've been trying out different font weights to get something that's thicker than the normal font but lighter than the bold font. According to CSS guides, the font weight for normal is 400, and the font weight for bold is 700, which means that 500 or 600 should give me what I want. Alas, on my board anyway, 500 produces a normal (400) font, and 600 produces a bold (700) font. Have I stumbled upon a bug or is there some code interfering with the results?

Many thanks!
