To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior (if applicable):
- Go to https://pytorch.org/cppdocs/notes/tensor_basics.html
- View a header (I'm on Chrome on Windows), different letters look like they have some different weights
Expected behavior
It looks fine with the font-weight: normal rule disabled:
This is probably something related to cleartype, but it should look normal on Windows.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: Windows
- Browser Chrome
- Version 71
Additional context
Something similar happens when zoomed into 125% but to normal paragraph text (note the "p" below) from the same page

Research direction
Start by reproducing the rendering issue at https://pytorch.org/cppdocs/notes/tensor_basics.html in Chrome 71 on Windows, including 125% zoom, and inspect the header and paragraph font styles. Trace the stylesheet rule applying font-weight: normal and compare the result with that rule disabled; done means the affected text renders consistently without disabling the intended styling.
