fancy drop cap is ugly if bold about homebrewery

[dbolack-ab]

Which theme is this impacting?

[5e-Cleric]

Not impacting any theme as we don't use it in bold, but some users have tried and the browser's forced bold interacts badly with it.

We could have the bold font-face point back to the same font file so it doesn't trigger the browser generating ugly placeholder bold fonts. As a decorative drop-cap font I think it would be ok for bold and normal (and italic) to just be identical.

{{font-family:SolberaImitationRemake,font-size:48px Normal}}
:
{{font-family:SolberaImitationRemake,font-size:48px *Italics*}}
:
{{font-family:SolberaImitationRemake,font-size:48px **Bold**}}
:
{{font-family:SolberaImitationRemake,font-size:48px ***Both***}}

I think this article has the kind of style settings being discussed : https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2013/02/setting-weights-and-styles-at-font-face-declaration/#style-linking

/* Fancy Drop Cap */
@font-face {
	font-family: SolberaImitationRemake; //Tweaked 5e version
	src: url('../../../fonts/5e/Solbera Imitation Tweak.woff2');
	font-weight: 100 1000;
	font-style: normal;
	font-style: italic;
}

Repeating the source text from the previous comment:

Bolded text is still wrapped in <strong> elements and thus is targeted by the .page strong styling, so the letter-spacing: -0.02em; is still applied.
