There is no Helvetica with 'font-weight:800' installed on OS X –
unless you installed a third party copy of Helvetica. Safari (only
on 10.4 ? I don't remember running in that sort of problem with
Safari 4+ on 10.5 / 10.6) then looks for / falls back to a
Helvetica with that weight.
Change that to 'font-weight:700;' and Safari will use Helvetica
(not rounded).
(unless there are other issues involved, including missing copy of
the default Helvetica Bold or corrupt font caches)
reporting back. that didn't work. nor did making font-weight "bold"
work. Nor did removing the font-weight part altogether.
I guess next step is examining my fonts, but...if Helvetica bold were
hosed, wouldn't a browser go to the next face spec'd in the
declaration, and the next and the next, on down to sans-serif?
thanks!
