           Summary: REGRESSION: Doubly-bold fonts seen at Google and
                    elsewhere (again)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://www.google.com
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: sullivan at apple.com


This bug is also in Radar as <rdar://4578554>

Bold text at Google and some other sites is extra-bold on one of my two
computers. See attached picture.

This occurred earlier just after we added support for synthetic bold, but broke
again recently. The earlier bug and fix were in Bugzilla as
http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6146

The font that's causing this problem is attached. If I disable this font in
Font Book and relaunch Safari, the problem goes away.

Since the symptoms are exactly the same as before, it seems like recent changes
in the font code broke or removed the earlier fix.
