Description (last modified by )
I've noticed that the WordPress admin has a fixed weight of 600
for b
and strong
tags. If I have a heading that has a bold appearance and then bold some text in the heading it doesn't become visible because all the text is set to 600
.
A simple solution would be to change the strong,b{font-weight:600;}
in common.css
to strong,b{font-weight:stronger;}
and let the browser choose the bolder weight.
I can create a patch for this, but I wanted to check if there is a reason why there is a fixed weight of 600
. Does anyone know why?

Hi and thanks for the report!
The
font-weight
of600
was added forstrong
andb
elements in [26072], when the font was Open Sans.Also, CSS Coding Standards instruct to use numeric values for font weight.
