Perplexed Dreamweaver - seems like font are bold

    It seems like all my fonts are bold even though I look at the code and there is no <b> or stong, etc. In fact when I bold them there is no change. I cant seem to get the font to look like the font normally used on the websites and it is not the case that I am choosing the wrong fonts. I know the difference between arial and times, etc. Is there a setting I am missing. All the sites I design now have a more normal font look. I even copied and pasted a paragraph that was correct to a page that had the bolded font and it bolded the pasted paragraph. Any help would be appreciated.

    :confused:

    How about letting us see the code? A link would be good, else paste the css and html.

    cheers,

    Without seeing the code, it would be impossible to offer a specific answer. Look for any other broken tag though, specifically broken heading tags.

    I have encountered the same problem last night. this is my solution:
    in your template, indicate the font-weight is normal, see example:
    <style type="text/css">
    <!--
    body,td,th {
    font-family: Georgia, serif;
    font-weight: normal;
    }
    -->
    </style>
