For some reason, Dictionary changed the font of all the words to bold. Any ideas how I can change it back to the normal way?
Here are 2 screenshots - one I found online of how it should look, and the other of how mine looks.
HOW MY DICTIONARY LOOKS
HOW IT SHOULD LOOK
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Do you see the two "A"s in the menu bar? Clicking them changes the font size.
I am aware of that, but the issue isn't font size. It's that the font itself changed and is now all bold text. There are no options to change that, which is why I posted here.
I figured it out. The Baskerville regular font was, for some reason, turned off so it was defaulting to the bold version of it. Turning it on fixed the problem.
Nice bit of trouble shooting🙂
Thanks a lot. Was feeling irritated these much days. The dictionary looks perfectly clear 🙂
If that's not the issue for someone, you have to check this post:
