Bold text not rendering for me when viewing pages from GitHub not locally

See the word "bold" in the pic below.

Works here both via GitPod and the GitHub version.

Does it change if you change the zoom level of the page or use a different browser?

Check also (inspect element) if the HTML is correct. If it's a browser glitch I'm not sure what we could do to workaround.

I think this might be something with the display in chrome. May be due to zoom level and surrounding styled text. After looking at various zoom levels in my chrome, now the screenshot from @anenadic looks very slightly bolded to me.

Zoomed so text is very small - 67%

Slightly larger - 90%

Slightly larger - 110%

We could perhaps try other fonts.
Compared for instance with the bold here in GitHub, all the screenshots above have a rather light style, regardless of zoom factor.

I think this is becoming an issue to raise over on the lesson template repository.

[unode]

I was thinking the same... would flag it under accessibility.
