Hi - I see random bold text in my site (image enclosed). It only happens in chrome browser and it only happens when you click on another link (eg technology) and click back on the home page. When I refresh this page - everything becomes normal again. There is nothing wrong with html code that I can see.
The site is http://iclinical.co/ Any specific fix to the problem would be highly appreciated. Attached thumbnail(s)

Have you fixed the problem? I don't see any random bold text anywhere. Using Firefox v44.

Me neither. But I have Iron and it looks fine in that too. Possibly I don't have the latest version. I'll check.

Nope. Downloaded the latest version. No boldness here. There's nothing in the makup that denotes the bold words either, so I guess it must be some strange bug.

Find a lot about font related bugs in Chrome when I google, but nothing that I think fits this.

Thanks for checking - It happens consistently on my computer. If few people say it is fine - I will just assume it renders fine on other browsers/computers |

I also tested with Chromodo, which is a Chrome based browser. No bold text in it either.

I don't use Chrome either. I use Safari on Mac (still on OS X ML) and the page looks fine to me too.
I inspected the first paragraph of the page and found that it is contained in a SPAN tag, though I don't understand why,. The text already is inside a P tag, so the SPAN doesn't make sense and is not needed. And that P has font-weight: 200; assigned to it (for #home-body #overview-header p at line 301 of styles.css). 200 is apparently not enough weight to turn the text to bold in my browser, but maybe that's sufficient in Chrome. Although the entire paragraph should then have been bold. Anyway, you might like to validate your site at https://validator.w3.org/nu/ and fix the few reported errors. And while you're at it, check the CSS too at http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ and fix those errors. |

Odd. I did the same thing with Iron and didn't see any markup inside the P. I looked at the text in the screen cap. I must look again.

Right, there is a SPAN directly inside the P, forgot about it. But there's nothing that makes the bolded words stand out.

Seems every occurence of trial, in, and, of and to is bold in the screenshot. Are always these same words affected?
If it's not a browser bug I'd try removing the javascripts (one at the time), maybe something's broken there. |

Also check your Chrome browser addons, maybe some (broken?) malware addon is installed? But I guess such an addon should insert advertizing links, not just bold text.

I ONLY noticed the issue in Windows version of Chrome, not the Mac version of Chrome. I noticed you are also using Lato font. The only way I was able to fix it was to use a different font. I tried all kinds of css overrides but nothing fixed it. I think it's a Chrome/Lato bug but I'm still curious if you were able to fix it somehow.

Thanks for the suggestion - I will try the font change and see it fixes it. |
