I desire dots from the chapter to the page number in my table of contents. I also want the chapters not be bold type for title and page number. I can make the dots well enough, and have even been able to change their spacing. But despite what I have fiddled with, the dots remain in bold font even when the surrounding text is plain.

Here's an MWE

\documentclass{report}
\title{Fake Title}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\usepackage[titles]{tocloft} % table of contents control and formatting \renewcommand{\cftchapfont}{\normalfont} \renewcommand{\cftchappagefont}{\normalfont} \renewcommand{\cftchapdotsep}{\cftdotsep}

\begin{document} \maketitle

\begin{abstract} This is the report's abstract. \end{abstract}

\tableofcontents

\chapter{Fake Chapter} \section{Fake Section} \lipsum \section{More Fakeness} \lipsum \subsection{Even More!} \lipsum

\chapter{Fake Chapter} \lipsum

\end{document}

The table of contents for this MWE prints as shown. What can I do to control the appearance of the dots?

I just went digging through the tocloft documentation and came across this hidden gem:

\renewcommand{\cftchapleader}{\bfseries\cftdotfill{\cftchapdotsep}}

Getting rid of that \bfseries gives me what I needed. TOC without bolded leaders
