This is a subtle bug, but it's there if you compare browsers. In Safari/Webkit, the x-height of the news story headlines is squatter, and the letters have a slightly different shape compared to Camino.

The font and the font size is set to the same in both browsers, but on this site, Camino has the higher x-height and better formed letter shapes.

Could you please attach screenshots for the difference to be obvious?

I can only see that menu items at the top have faux bold applied in Safari, and that the date at the top (Friday, July 13, 2007) has a slightly different font size. Story headlines look identical to me (just with slightly different anti-aliasing).

Is this still a bug?  Can we close this?
