I know that this is a Mac OS X specific (minor) bug.
I guess that it is a problem with Mac OS X fonts.
I use Mac OS 10.6 but the bug was also present with OS 10.4
It's quite strange to see that on the same OS but with differents browsers (Google Chrome, Safari (in fact Webkit based browser)) this bug doesn't appear.
