This thin font is very difficult to read

Bootstrap adopted a native font stack that looks great and doesn't require any web fonts.

Is "adopting a native font stack" different in some way from simply not using web fonts and doing it the old-fashioned way instead?

Edit: Other than using the magic font names "-apple-system" and "BlinkMacSystemFont" it looks like it's just specifying the Windows, Android and Mac fonts in order. This is not going to use the native system font on other platforms or if the user happens to have Segoe UI installed on Android.

That stack should lead with system-ui.

I noticed this, too. On Fedora KDE, it looks fine in Chromium, but poor in Firefox. It seems Firefox can't find the "PT Sans" font, even though I have it installed, and Chromium uses it correctly.
