From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The closest thing I have is Ghostery, which is just an inspector. I don't use any extensions to modify the code of a page, so yeah I'm not sure either. I also use Firefox, just checked this at work and I'm seeing the same results. And the dev tools here agree with your findings -- both normal and text are using the same font. The only thing I can think of is that the font itself (on my Linux computers) have a different "A" for the two styles. Ah well, not something I care enough to dig in to further, I just thought it was odd to see that discrepancy.
