All text on the site is written in bold. I don't know why. I haven't changed any settings in my IE9 lately, so I don't think it's on my side.

What's wrong people?

Just tried this in IE9, looks perfectly ok to me, is your zoom settings at 100%?
To check this click the cog looking icon in the top right to view the current zoom level.

Does this happen in other broswers for you?

The font family used here is "Lucida Grande","Lucida Sans","Lucida Sans Unicode","DejaVu Sans",Arial,sans-serif".
You can check you have these fonts instlled by going to the "c:windowsfonts" folder and checking that the "regular" editions are not missing.

My zoom level is at 100%.

Other browsers (e.g. Steam) work perfectly fine. It's IE9 that bothers me.

Also, how can I export a list of fonts I have installed, so I could show you the result?

I did some googling around and it seems that other users have had issues with IE9 showing in bold only on some sites but not others.

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie9-windows_7/internet-explorer-9-only-using-bold-font/7a1d8886-c94f-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5

The answers in this MS thread showed that IE9 was having issues with the Arial font.
I have attached all the Arial fonts from my wokring system, please download this attachment and install each of them by right clicking and selecting "install".
Restart IE9 then try again.

If this does not work then I am at a loss for further suggestions at this time.

Let me know how it goes, good luck.

Sadly, nothing helps. I think I'll just stick to researching this issue on my own. If I find something useful, I'll tell you right away.
