Hi Evelyn, Hi Gary,
Though this is polish issue. Could you check whether we unbold the font after change language to Greek?
Thanks!

Comment 3

[Evelyn Hung]

Maybe the applied font files are different because of language setting. It seems not a blocker, so put it in low priority queue.

Hi Chens,
Do you have any finding? Thanks!

Comment 5

[Sherman Chen [:chens] (inactive)]

CSS properties for Greek and all the other languages are the same, I think it might be related to fonts but not sure about. Michael, do you have any ideas about this?

Comment 6

[Michael Wu [:mwu]]

This is working as intended - Fira before FFOS 2.1 did not have sufficiently good Greek support. For 2.1 and newer, we can consider switching the default font to Fira - I don't know if the Greek support with the newest Fira is considered sufficient. It's also possible to backport the new Fira with better Greek support to 2.0 if we really want this.

Hi Peipei,
Can you check whether 2.1/2.2 with new Fira font still have this problem? Thanks!

Comment 9

[Michael Wu [:mwu]]

2.1/2.2 still use different fonts for Greek. However, we may be able to switch 2.1/2.2 to Fira for Greek.

Can we switch over with the new Fira?

Comment 11

[Jonathan Kew (:jfkthame)]

I suspect the rendering of Roboto (which is used as default when Greek is selected) is excessively thin when it appears as light-on-dark, but would be OK in a dark-on-light context; it's a TrueType font, and depending on the rasterizer and hinting/antialiasing settings, this can sometimes be a problem.

That doesn't help fix things, but just noting that the issue is likely to be much less noticeable in other contexts, depending on styling.

As for switching to use Fira for Greek: I think we should go ahead, but let's see what Patryk thinks.

In order to backport this to 2.0m, two other bugs must also be backported to 2.0m - bug 987872 and bug 1032659 . If you want this bug to block 2.0m, please also set those other two bugs to block 2.0m.

Hi Peipei,
According to comment 15. the bug should be fixed in 2.2. Can you retest this on 2.2 and also capture picture which we can decide whether to land it back to 2.0M?
Thanks!

Josh, comment 16 is to answer your question in comment 7. And I tested on an earlier build 20141103040202, so I can still this issue on that build.

I tested on today's build and the font will not change bold after i change language to greek.
