    I made two different sites and the font looks more bold on one of them. Does anyone know why the font looks bold on one of them and when you bold it, it looks the same but on the other one it looks normal.

    Here are some pages that illustrate what I am describing:

    The first site is www (dot) integrity-webdesign (dot) com
    (the font in the body of the homepage is arial 14px)

    It looks less bold than the following example:

    www (dot) top5cardrooms (dot) com/fonttest.htm
    (the font in the middle is also arial 14px)

    Did you wonder why the text in the second example is centered and the text in the first is not? The explanation for the bolding is the same as for this ;)

    Here's the issue. The text on fonttest.htm appears to be sitting within a <th> that was never closed, and therefore the <th> is exerting its influence on that text. By default, most browsers will bold and center <th> text, which is why it appears bold and centered in your test page.
