I have developed a web page and Chinese characters are displayed within a div tag. However, when I render this page with Firefox (version 27.0.1), some of the characters are displayed in bold which is not what I want. When I render them in Chrome and Internet Explorer, I do not have this problem. Please tell me how this can be fixed?

Are all the characters taken from the same font if you check that in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) on the Font tab (right pane)?
