I'm not sure if this is just my system, since I have about 1000 other fonts installed, but it works fine in regular Safari. Anyways, fonts with the font-size specified will load the 'ultra light' version of the font, if there is one. If there is a 'light' version of the font, it seems like you don't even need the font-size and it will load by default. If you throw in a font-weight in there, either font-weight:normal, or font-weight:400, nothing will happen. However, if you put font-weight:bold, or 800, it will load the 'bold' version of the font. Besides Helvetica Neue (which you need the font-weight in there to reproduce), I also tested American Typewriter and Gill Sans, which both had a 'light' version of the font. The font-size attribute did not need to be set to reproduce the error for those fonts.

Created attachment 10628 [details] testcase I put both ways to reproduce, with the Helvetica Neue (which needs font-size to reproduce), and Gill Sans (which does not).

Rolling out <http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/18680> fixes it.
