Hi,

That URL is just one of many, containing many examples whereby the display problem exists.
Namely, characters that should be aligned vertically in the following test page, they are not:
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-demo.txt

This has been verified to happen with both these webkit versions: 
533.16 (Safari default macosx 10.6) AND 534.6+ (latest webkit)


A related bug may be that rendering of the following page on mobile devices (IPHONE, ANDROID)
does not appear correctly on the line containing "node state" (and only that line):
http://ganglia.lcg.cscs.ch/qtop_eco.html
I think this suggests that the problem can be isolated to the rendering of the horizontal dash: -
Interestingly, this bug DOES NOT manifest itself on  macbook' Safari etc.

cheers,
Fotis
