That's funny. I don't see it coming out as italic in the WebKit shipped with Leopard. Instead, I see it coming out as an odd bold that seems to have the edges of the characters stroked, leaving a very narrow line in the middle white.

Here's a screenshot where you can see what I'm talking about (zoomed in a bunch so you can see it more clearly):

Hi,

I have attached an SVG which seems to have the text rendered incorrectly. The font specified is Verdana and as far as I can tell no italic properties are specified, yet with the version of Safari that comes with Leopard the text is rendered in italics. Oddly enough this behaviour is not present in the beta for Windows and nor is it in Firefox.

Any ideas?

Andre
