On one machine I get bold fonts for thread titles and another I don't. Both are firefox running in Ubuntu. Any tips to get bold fonts is appreciated.

FIXED: Turns out when installing a recent version of WINE in Ubuntu it installs Tahoma replacement fonts which this forum uses as the body font. Problem with the replacement is Bold is not really bold. Removing the ttf-tahoma-replacement package fixes it.

CLear the cookies and log back in on both machines. One may have older cookies than the other.

Are both boxes on the same IP? If not, the different environment may have something to do with it.

Thanks for the reply. I cleared all cookies from the non-bold machine, no change. The machines are on different IPs. I'll dig around and see what else might be different. Thanks!
