Subtle font rendering differences across platforms is to be expected. It has the default bold variant for the family.

Are you sure? You made a mistake on a very similar bug 791305 And it's not different platforms, Firefox for Android looks identical to Safari for iPhone, Chrome for Android seems to be incorrect, please double check
