Right - this problem never really went away for me, neither in WebKit or stock
Safari. It is reproducible 100% of the time, even after full reboots.

I have methodically removed any and all Safari and Internet plug-ins, but to no
avail.

Tonight I have managed to narrow it down to using Courier as my fixed-width
font in Safari. All other fixed-width fonts (and I have a lot) render
perfectly. The only one that produces that weird overlapping behaviour is
Courier. And it overlaps no matter what point size I choose. And it overlaps no
matter what I choose for Safari's Standard Font.

Fontbook validates Courier with no problems at all. So, all I can assume is
that the Courier font I am left with is maybe corrupt or a doppelgŠnger.

Can I mail you my Courier font for you to try on your own set-up?
