Safari should take advantage of any variable axes available within a font rather then synthesising traits. Common axes supported by Multiple Master and AAT fonts include: * Weight (bold or light) * Optical Size ('chunkyness' of serifs & thick/thin stroke ratio) * Glyph width (condensed/extended forms) I posted a page at the given URL showing a table of Qs using the font Skia (which everyone should have). It has an accompanying image showing the correct rendering, so unless someone tells me how to make those nifty data: URIs and include an image inline, I can't attach it here.
