Comment (by helen):

 In [changeset:"37740"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="37740"
 Use numeric font weights instead of keywords.

 When Open Sans was in use, the `300`, `400`, and `600` weights were
 loaded. `400` is the equivalent of `normal`; however, `bold` is equivalent
 to `700`, not `600`. With the move to system fonts, we need to be specific
 rather than relying on the lack of a `700` weight. Not all system fonts
 include a `600` weight; in those instances, they will use the `bold`/`700`
 weight.

 The WordPress CSS Coding Standards have been updated accordingly.
