This is related to #4912.

@peterflynn could you take a look? (CC'ing @njx as well)

@larz0 The font weight changes are interesting, because they essentially encompass the Windows font "faintness" fix from #4955. But in bumping up the font-weight to normal on Mac too, we'll see a disconnect again where the font looks heavier on Mac and lighter on Win. (We won't have the readability issues on Win, though -- that only seems to occur with the lightest weight).

I'm also curious about the antialiasing change at the end of the diff. Is that a trick to tweak the apparent font-weight further? Does it work the same on Retina Mac, non-Retina Mac, and Win?

@peterflynn As discussed. I used "-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased" to make sure that "font-weight: normal" looks somewhere between light and normal, as opposed to the default look of normal which uses subpixel-antialiased instead (slightly fuzzier).

@larz0 Is this still needed after #4955? If so, looks like it needs a merge to reconcile it with those changes...

@peterflynn yes this is still need for better legibility. I've cleaned up the code so it should be good to merge.

@larz0 Couple things I'm noticing...

  1. The bolder highlighting of filenames inside dialogs is gone on Mac, though still present on Win:
    unsaved_larz_mac
    unsaved_larz_win

  2. The "X" icon in dialogs is now vertically off center
    (see same screenshots above)

  3. Text inside textfields now looks quite heavy:
    textfield_larz
    (this screenshot is on Win but it looks very similar to me on Mac)
    vs. current appearance:
    textfield_orig

@peterflynn I've fixed the things you mentioned. Made the input less heavier but made the text color black.

@larz0 Looks good! I added one commit to this PR to remove the #4568 workaround that is now obsoleted by your broader font-weight changes. I'll go ahead & merge now, but feel free to take a look at the diff on that last commit if you'd like to double-check it.
