Can you visit this test blog and tell me if the text is still bold? I've changed the font on this blog from Helvetica Neue to Georgia.

Problem replicates on Firefox & Chrome, so I assume must be browser independent.

I'm only on Twenty Twelve because the issue doesn't manifest there , but does when I revert back to Twenty Eleven (which I prefer).

I'm just following up with you. I did some testing, and was also unable to reproduce the issue. Did you get a chance to test your site out on another computer that is running Linux Mint? That'll let us rule out a computer-specific issue.

Also, I see that you're now using Twenty Twelve. Does the problem still occur with Twenty Twelve, or any other themes (besides Twenty Eleven and Hum)?

I'm not seeing any changes made to Twenty Eleven since about 4 months ago, and then nothing that should have affected the fonts.

I'm not able to reproduce in IE, Chrome, Safari, or Firefox on Windows or Mac. The good news is, this tells me most of your readers are probably not seeing the bold text.

I don't have a Linux computer handy, but I will ask around to see if my colleagues can test for this. In the meantime, are you able to test on another computer?

It's probable that the last time I went to activate 20 11 for this test that I selected Hum instead, as they both show up in the Theme search beside each other. Sorry!

So I'l redone it, confirmed I've activated Twenty Eleven and the problem is definitely still there. Also, this problem arose after I'd been using 20 11 for a year.

Here's the front page on twenty Eleven.

This screenshot is what leads me to believe you've activated Hum:

This is Twenty Eleven -- they're similar, but use different stylesheets. Can you confirm you're using Twenty Eleven and not Hum? This will allow me to check our records to see if any font-related changes have been made to the stylesheet in the last week or so.

It looks like you're using Hum, not Twenty Eleven. If you switch to Twenty Eleven, does the problem persist?

And are you using a Mac or a Windows computer?

Hmm, that's strange. I'm not able to reproduce this, so I need a bit more information to help you troubleshoot.

Are you seeing the bold text in the post editor area, or on your front-facing site, or both?

Can you activate Twenty Eleven, edit a post with the bold text problem, then switch to Text view and take a screenshot? This will let me see the code to check for errant tags.

If this is happening on the front end, can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing so we can investigate further? Thank you!

Last week, for no discernible reason, any post I compose (including opening previously written drafts) displays only as bold. It is browser independent, occurring in both Chrome and Firefox. I've had to change themes because of it. I'd like to revert back to Twenty Eleven but when I tried reverting, the same bold text behaviour started. Since the theme does not come with ability to change font I have no idea what happened nor how to fix it.

Any input appreciated.

Some people (completely random) have also been experiencing this problem with Firefox and IE as well.

If you are using Safari, download and use either the Firefox or Camino web browser or better yet, use an offline blog editor to create and publish your posts. There is a great review of them along with links here: http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2007/10/26/offline-blog-editors-reviews/ .

If you are using Firefox or IE and having your paragraph breaks stripped out, then I would strongly suggest downloading and using an offline editor.

Perhaps one day the editor issues that cropped up a few months ago will be fixed, but in the mean time, get an offline editor and use it to create and publish your posts and save yourself the grief.
