I've noticed the nightly builds of webkit, for whatever reason, improperly render the Helvetica Neue typeface. This problem isn't present in the latest version of Safari (3.1 as of submitting this report), so I doubt it has anything to do with the fonts installed on my computer.

Helvetica Neue doesn't have anything to do with this. Both sites have zero blur/offset text shadows which makes this a dupe of bug 19376. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 19376 ***
