The differences across platform are commonly enough to discern. The reason is the font rendering engines differ not only across plaforms, but also versions and implementations within the platforms, particularly Linux, where differences between byte code interpretation or not are usually unmistakable. This is true even when the exact same font files are the source the rendering engines use. I spot differences in line-height easily and routinely, even with line-height explicitly specified in the CSS. -- "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
