Hello, Thank you for try Misty Theme out!
I've made some tests before and finally selected 400 as body font weight, 500 as strong/b font weight on Windows(300, 400 on macOS respectively). For me, it turns out that 500 & 600 render as same thickness(see first shot) and 700 & 800 render as same thickness(see second shot):
As you can see in these 2 shots, whose font rendered is 'Segoe UI', 500 & 600 are a little thin and visually subtle, while 700 & 800 are rather thick and visually obstructive, damaging entire feel.
For this reason, I choose 500(may also be adjusted to 600 if needed) instead of 800 as strong/b font weight on Windows.
I'm planning to change font weight to (300,500) on macOS & (400,600) on Windows from (300,400) on macOS & (400,500) on Windows to make it a little more obvious to distinguish between normal & bold text.
I've done some tests and maybe I know where the problem is.
I changed strong/b font weight (line 505 in the 'misty-light-windows.css').
For me, it turns out that 400 & 500 render as same thickness(see first shot) and 600 & 700 render as same thickness(see second shot) and 800 & 900 render as same thickness which is much more thicker(see third shot):
So I think you just need to choose 600 instead of 500 as strong/b font weight on Windows and it will be all okay.
Maybe it's a Windows System problem or something else. I don't know. Hope it helps.
Thank you for opening this issue & doing experiments!
Fixed in v0.4.1. If you find any other problem or have any other idea on the theme, free feel to open up another issue!
