"Text display" question text all in BOLD was created by dlxmax
Your LimeSurvey version: LimeSurvey Community Edition Version 6.5.12+240611 
Own server or LimeSurvey hosting: own server
Survey theme/template: seemingly all of them?!
==================

This is very frustrating. I can't find a solution. I apologize for my lack of CSS skills--I haven't built a website since the mid 90's.

For the "text display" type question, all text is automatically shown in bold. I'd consider that a bug since bold wasn't selected in the editor. This happens with every "text display" question and has been a bug for over a year.

Anyway, could somebody please give me to some code to fix this so that it defaults to normal weight? I assume it's code to put in the custon.css file? Thank you so much.

Seems you use a personal theme or an LimeSurvey hacked version

Can not reproduce on vanilla fuity_twentythree

You actually CAN reproduce it, you are showing it in your screenshot. I assume what dlmax says is that the text display question shows the text exactly like the question text for other question types, which is slightly bigger and bolder than the "normal" text otherwise.

I assume that it derives from the fact that the text of the text display question is not treated differently to the text of normal questions. So the text display text does not show as "normal" text.

Oh ?
You think ? Unsure for me :)

else, in custom.css
Code:
.question-container .ls-label-question{font-weight:normal}

Another think : if it's a bug, it must be reported : community.limesurvey.org/bug-tracker/

For the "text display" type question, all text is automatically shown in bold. I'd consider that a bug since bold wasn't selected in the editor. This happens with every "text display" question

Here my results in 6.5.18
"vanilla"
 
"fruity"
 
"bootswatch"
 
"fruity_twentythree"
 
I do not see a bold text that is not intentionally set to 'bold'.

And considering this

and has been a bug for over a year.

I also tested in 6.4.12.
"vanilla"
 
"fruity"
 
"bootswatch"
 
"fruity_twentythree"
 

Again I do not see that the text display text is set to "bold".

If you check in the webdevelopment tool you see that both texts have
"fruity_twentythree"
font-size: 24px;
font-weight:600
font-family : IBMPlexSans

"vanilla"
font-size: 1rem
font-weight:400
font-family : Noto

Unfotunately @dlxmax did not show anything.

It might be in fact not bold, but it looks bold.

For a text display question the text from the last example doesn't seem to be ideal and I guess this is what OP is referring to.

Yes, font-weight 600 is only semi-bold -

The "Text display"- question (although it is not a question)  will display text in the format of the question-text en not in the format of the question-body. Could this be what is the problem? In this question type there is no body, just question-text. I can understand the need for also having a question-body which is styled differently (most times a little smaller).
