           Summary: [10.6] Font-weight bolder/lighter failures with
                    Helvetica Neue.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: phiw at l-c-n.com
                CC: mitz at webkit.org


Safari/WebKit running on 10.6 fails to use some font-weights when specifying
font-weight lighter/bolder. The 'Medium' and 'Ultra Light' faces are
particularly affected.
The cascade displays correctly on Gecko based browsers.

Testcase: cascade: nested font-weight bolder/lighter.

Actual results: the last two lines display with the same face
Expected results: the last two lines display with different faces

In bug 6484 comment 31 a little hack was introduced to work around a 10.5 bug
with the same font (<rdar://problem/5781372>). It is coming back to bite ?
