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 tag has the same calculated font setting as the main comment's 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 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.
