Forma 36 bug report

Summary

The medium type weight token doesn’t look consistent across different OSs. Looks good on Mac, but not on Linux. On Linux, there's no difference between the medium and the regular type.

Environment

Chrome. MacOS and Linux

Expected results

On Linux, the same as in Mac. Medium type is different from the regular.

Actual results

On Linux, type has the same weight

Here are screenshots:

So far, investigating this has led to the theory that some Linux distributions return a font for our font stack where the weight we're trying to use simply doesn't exist, and it then falls back to the nearest existing weight. In the case of the screenshot the 400 seems to be rendered with 500.
