    Interesting. I’m not sure that’s a Lemmy thing per se, maybe specific to your client, or some extension or something altering CSS?

    I just checked in my browser’s inspector, and the italicized text’s <em> tag has the same calculated font setting as the main comment’s <div> tag.

    FWIW, I’m using Firefox with my instance’s default Lemmy web UI.

      The closest thing I have is Ghostery, which is just an inspector. I don’t use any extensions to modify the code of a page, so yeah I’m not sure either. I also use Firefox, just checked this at work and I’m seeing the same results. And the dev tools here agree with your findings – both normal and <em> text are using the same font. The only thing I can think of is that the font itself (on my Linux computers) have a different “A” for the two styles. Ah well, not something I care enough to dig in to further, I just thought it was odd to see that discrepancy.
