Before the major updates to X/Cornerstone made in nov/dec the font display was great. After, the changes created a UX issue due to the fonts being rendered much lighter than before. I’ve been able to set them to be darker via css, but am still getting complaints that they are too light. Other than changing font units to ems what else was changed to cause the fonts to display so light by default?

Hello There,
Thanks for writing in!
For list of changes we request you to kindly walk-through our change-log page:
Can you share screenshot of the problem you are facing pertaining to font rendering as i can see font are loading perfectly fine.
Thanks.
The fonts had no problem loading, just after the big update, the weight seemed to be set much lighter than the default set before. I had to set a heavier weight. Also via the customizer, one isn’t able to set in-between weights. For example you can select 100, 300, 500, etc but not 200, 400 and so on. I set the weight to 200 in my child css. Also the color of text in integrity by default is set to a middle gray on white which is not so good for those with bad eyes 🙁
Hi there,
Thanks for updating. You can set the weight from Customize > Typography – http://prntscr.com/9jxsl7
Note that the availability of font-weights might vary for different fonts. So make sure to choose the right weight from customizer instead of providing a wrong weight in you Child Theme’s CSS.
If you still face any issue, let’s share some screenshot and let us know what weight you have selected and what you are seeing.
Cheers!
I was able to set it to 200 via my child css for Lato which seemed to work better.
On a separate issue, is there a recommended way to combine the many separate css (6) and javascript (4) file requests X and cornerstone make into a single css and single javascript request? Currently the site uses WP Super Cache for caching. I’m aware of various ways of manually combining, but I’m not sure these procedures need to be done after every update. I’d like to stay away from adding another plugin as the site already is a bit plugin heavy.
Hi there,
Thanks for updating the thread! Would you mind detailing which CSS and JS file requests you are referring to and what you would like to accomplish? Thanks!
