You are using font-weights
Lato:300,300italic, which does
not include any bold fonts. This generally means that the browser will always use
faux-bold (fake bold), if it cannot find any
600,700,800,900 weight included in the font. Different browsers may apply their "own" interpretation of bold. From here I see this:
Mac/Chrome
Mac/Firefox
There is a clear a difference how browsers interpret faux-bold. And yes, it could create additional results if you actually have the Google web font installed on your system. We can't generally do anything about this. Browser will render a font as it wants to, if it's not included.
So why is Lato Bold not included?
We did not include a bold variation in "Lato Skinny", because I think the Lato "700" is too bold to be used in <strong> alongside the super-skinny 300, and Lato doesn't have a "600" (like many other web fonts).
You can include the bold font by going to settings -> style -> font, and customizing the first part of the font-string so that it looks like this:
I'm pretty sure that will give a more uniform experience across browsers, as they will use the provided
Lato 700 font instead of created a faux-bold.

This I don't know, but would not be a related issue. Can't reproduce.
