On Ubuntu 22.04, using FireFox, the ArgentX wallet's font-weight for seed phrase recovery words displays the letter 'i' identically to the letter 'l'

With recovery seed phrases, it is paramount that each word is displayed clearly and unambiguously so that unscrupulous users do not write down a misspelling, rendering their recovery phrase incorrect. There exist words where this font-weight can result in ambiguous output, such as 'fail' != 'fall'

For example, here is a screenshot from an ArgentX recovery phrase containing the word 'sail':

argentxfont

Thankfully I recognized that 'sall' is not a word. Setting font-weight to 500 should resolve this.
