Because the fonts used are specific to OS X (10.6+) and thus not installed on
Win XP ?
The question was – does this testcase work on OS X 10.7. The answer is
currently NO on any release version of Gecko based browser. That is an OS
specific bug - I wanted to make sure that what I saw on my machine(s) was not
due to some odd combination of settings on my side.
Safari 5.1 appears to have another bug specific to @font-face { src:()} with
the same font. I'm not clear yet where exactly the bug is (the bug is fixed in
nightly webkit builds).
Satisfied ?
I thought the subject line was clear enough about the scope of the question…
