Almost 3 years ago, I reported a browser-bug to the Chrome-team:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=807546
It is minor for most people, but for typography-geeks, it's ... significant!
In the snippet below, I use 3 fonts:
- Abhaya Libre Medium for the body-text
- Cormorant SC SemiBold for the first line of a paragraph
-
Yeseva One for the first letter of a new paragraph, that's the
first-of-typewithin a section.
The quoted entries are within <q>-tags, using the standard open-quote and close-quote as content for the ::before and ::after pseudo-elements.
Here's the same snippet in Firefox;
Can you spot the issue?
Firefox correctly use Cormorant SC SemiBold for the quotes in the first-line, since there's a CSS-rule:
.article__section>p:first-of-type::first-line {
font-family: "Cormorant SC", serif;
font-weight: 600;
font-size: 1.2em;
}
But Chrome (and Safari), use the body-font, Abhaya Libre Medium, for the quotes, but the correct font for everything else on the line.
It's not the end of the world, but funny it's not been fixed yet, maybe it is too insignificant after all!?
