Reproduced. Do you regularly test for different font sizes? I haven't thought 
about this explicitly before, although I start to see the implications on the 
Ui.

Agree, although it will jump around the cursor at one point. No problem though 
imo.

Agreed.

Calculated CSS in firebug shows same values except font-weight. It also looks 
more "condensed", but it is not smaller. A less bold (font-weight: 600) does 
not change my type-face, it has the same degree of "boldness". Maybe I should 
avoid it?
