LaTeX - Making a lighter version of text, like anti-bold?

latex fonts text-formatting bold
Rory picture Rory · Mar 25, 2010 · Viewed 15.6k times · Source

I'm making a LaTeX document for someone. A certain piece of text looks "bold" for them, even though I'm not using the \textbf command. It's just a normal default LaTeX font. Is there any command to make a 'lighter version', i.e. make the text lighter, thinner? Something that looks to normal text, what normal text looks to bold?
