Default Re: Text renders different in Safari and Firefox

Like Bauer, I notice that Safari doesn't display text the same way the other browsers do, even though I almost always use Arial, Trebuchet MS, or another web friendly font. Specifically, when I preview my BV pages in Safari:

- the vertical spacing is tighter between lines of text
- the fonts all seem to be smaller
- the fonts all seem to be heavier

The result is blocks of text on my BV pages that do NOT look inviting to the eye, and large spaces with no text on them because Safari has compressed (vertically) the spacing in one or more paragraphs. But meanwhile, over in IE, FF, Opera, and Chrome, everything looks fine, just the way it does when I'm laying it out in BV.

Any advice on how to make Safari behave would be appreciated!
