Safari display fonts bold

[andyjamesnelson]

Hello.

I generally front end develop in Firefox because of firebug - I just checked some I'm working on and I noticed the fonts are all bolder in Safari.

I have: font-weight: 100; set which seems to work for Firefox but not Safari or Opera come to mention it.

Does anyone know how to get around this?

font-weight: normal;

I think some browsers have issues with numerical values. I use 'normal' and 'bold' only. Most browsers won't show a difference for the different numerical values anyways.

This works really well.

You can change the color of the shadow to work with different backgrounds.

See I want to browser to display light fonts and display lighter wasn't doing it either.
