Google Fonts: How can I prevent Internet Explorer from rendering a bold font as regular?

Google Fonts is great. But, I seem to have a problem with Internet Explorer. A font (say, Arvo) styled as bold won't render as bold in Internet Explorer. It does in all other browsers though.

Am I missing something?

Solution

  • How about making an IE specific stylesheet and in it declare something like

    * { font-weight: regular; }

    It's usually not advised to use the * selector, so try to narrow it down to wherever the font is used. For example, perhaps it's just paragraph text: p { font-weight: regular; }, or just links: a {...;} etc. etc.

    Good luck!
