Hi Naoki, can you help us verify if this is an issue?  If not, we should close out this bug.  Thanks!

I can't reproduce this on the buri device.  I think it might be a Firefox browser bug if that's where you're seeing it?

It may be an issue with font substitution.  Might be worth moving over to gecko/core...

Can you replicate this, might if so, its likely a gecko issue. If you can't replicate this, please close it as invalid.

Hey Patryk, I asked Pavel to test since he first discovered the issue.  He is still able to replicate on Inari.  He also thinks it's a Gecko issue, what should we do?

Based on the screen shot attached, the font weight shows similar look and feel for
1. values from 100 to 300
2. values from 600 to 900, bold, bolder.
3. values of 400, lighter and normal
4. value of 500

Referred the css font weight info from : http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_font_weight.asp

Micheal can you please advise what we should do? You may know what is happening here.

Comment 15

[Michael Wu [:mwu]]

Doesn't comment 12 and 13 mean that this works?

If you're testing on Inari, you have to either install the new font sets manually or flash the full system image. 1.1 doesn't have the right set of fonts.

I don't believe this is an issue anymore, if its still exist on 2.2, please re-open.
