minimal project

the minimal example project is attached.

Safari 8 inconsistently renders the text either concatenated (without spaces between words) or renders the text in multiple lines by breaking the sentence on word boundaries.

** it's important to run the application in the standalone mode by adding the shortcut to home screen and launching it from home screen.

As you can see the text is rendered in a way that all words look concatenated.
Comment 2 Reza 2014-09-28 20:20:20 PDT 
might have been caused by the media query which forces SVG font for webkit as a workaround for previous versions of safari. will look test it without SVG font and might close this defect after that
Comment 3 Reza 2014-09-28 20:42:00 PDT 
the CSS was forcing use of SVG font to workaround a bug in previous versions which is not required anymore.
