it goes

any news on this?

@zanardigit

Issue confirmed on FF 44.0.2 / OS X 10.10.5.

It renders fine with system font disabled via "Font Book". Does that mean is a bug in the locally installed font?

It renders correctly on FF 45.0 / Ubuntu 15.10.

Phew ! So glad I'm not the only one experiencing this . To encounter something like this far into the development phase is frustrating. Looks like it hasn't been looked into by FF .

Same problem here :(

What about removing the local font call for the Poppins font in Firefox only ? Until that bug is fixed ? As it is not a realy needed feature, especialy because so few people would have that font installed on their OS....

As pointed out by @davelab6 - this bug only exist if Poppins is installed locally. Just disable (or uninstall) the font when working with typography and Poppins font-weight: 400 will render correctly 👍

@rix1, even if i believe that not so many people have this font installed on their computer, the problem is not when "i" am having this display bug. As a matter of fact, the probleme is when other people consulting my client website have this display bug. And you will agree that i can not put a warning at the top of my pages asking for others to un-install their fonts to get a nice rendering on their own browser :(

Locally or not same issue for me too. I opened the ttf files with Fontforge and noticed that bold et regular have the same "machine" name, not the others. Could it lead Firefox to misinterpret the font by overriding regular with bold?
EDIT found a working version here itfoundry/Poppins#4

I had this same problem with Poppins Regular rendering as bold in Firefox.

This is the solution I came up with: https://www.lockedowndesign.com/firefox-font-weight-too-bold/

@davelab6 The issue is still there when using google fonts. The project I am working on demands the use of webfonts, cant serve the font files while loading the page. Though by deleting the fonts from the system it works.
