Anti-aliasing issues with font and typography update.

[vitorgomateus]

Initiated by an issue on Bugzilla Bug 29006.

Description

The character 'i' appears as capitalized. It seems to be an anti-aliasing issue. It only occurs on specific machines and seems to disappear when the CSS font-family: 'ProximaNova-Regular' is removed. Additionally, the university branding guidelines were also updated and require new typography.

Branding Typography Guidelines

• Gotham for general copy. When Gotham is not available, use Helvetica. If Helvetica is not available, use Arial.
• Adobe Garamond Pro for headlines. When Garamond is not available, use Times New Roman.

Solution

Updating the font-families should resolve the issue.
