Have you had a look at your page with the WebKit Inspector ? It would 
immediately tell you that WebKit based browsers (Safari, Chrome) load a 
stylesheet '/Styles/safari.css' with only one rule:
> body {
>     font-size: 10px;

That overrides what you set in '/Styles/GlobalStyles.css'

(summarised: the ugliness of browser detection scripts - dump that 
'/js/browserdetect.js' script and your life will be _much_ easier)
