Description Anders Jenbo 2007-11-08 02:18:46 PST 
Text in Safari on windows appears extreamly fat, setting text-shadow: 0 0 0 #fff; fixes this so i belive text-shadow is some how always on by default. Some text is very hard to read with out setting this value first.

The cause of this is that the AA is switched from ClearType to Standard when ever a shadow is applyed, probably because Core Graphics has issues rendering fonts on shadows, still the bug remains, ill change the topic to a correct one though.
