Even though we indicated "font-weight: 200;" mine is still displaying at what looks like 400.

Could this be chrome?

Here's the relevant css:

 .navbar-text {
font-weight: bold;
margin-right: 0;
 }
 h1 {
font-weight: 200;
margin-bottom: 30px;
 }
 .lead {
color: #d5c1f2;
margin-bottom: 75px;
 }
 .lead:nth-of-type(2) {
font-size: initial;
margin-bottom: 20px;
 }

Everything else works perfectly.

Hi Joshua,

Are the fonts you loaded linked to google fonts, or some other font hosting site?
Or did you download the font set and host them on your own server?

How do they look in Safari or Firefox?

If you're just giving a font weight but you don't actually have the font linked or hosted then the browser will just do what it can and if it does not have a font weight of 200 then you'll get the next best thing which could be 400.

Hope this helps.
