Hi,

Attached is what I see. Top to bottom:

Firefox
Safari
Chrome


I don't see a lot of typographic boldness in Chrome, but the other two
are ok.

It's been like this for days now, so I don't think it is caching issue.

The list has a limit of 100kb, which I do no like. But here you are:

thanks,
Rob
