Using Hoefler Text, WebKit fails to change the color of the entirety of the letterform. The portions outside the box (which is simply the background of the a tag) do not change color when the link is hovered. Mac OS X 10.6.5 Build 10H574 Safari 5.0.3 (6533.19.4) True Type Hoefler Text; 6.1d7e1; 2009-09-21 (came with OS X) More at the link provided. Thank you!

Yes. As a workaround, you may specify "text-rendering: optimizelegibility;" This has a performance impact, though. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 6274 ***
