Consider font-weight and font-family about wai-website-design HOT 3 CLOSED

Note that we also want to limit the download size of every font we’re using. So normal, italic, bold and bold italic might be all we need. I think we don’t need to use thin (≤300) font weights.

From the meeting:

• WCAG 2.0 has no provision on less than normal text, so one could argue we can’t use it. (I don’t.) Or we need to have a larger color contrast to meet WCAG 2.0.
• Font with less weight will be ok on higher resolution (Retina) displays but can be harder to read on non-retina screens. We might be able to send the thinner font only to retina screens.

Best is to come up with a prototype and just test.

Prototype and more discussion in #52
