[thelist] Safari and cursive fonts

[David Siedband]

What's happening here is that Safari is assuming a font-weight:bold; 
directive because you are applying these styles to headings.    These 
fonts don't have bold suits so they are degrading to the Safari's 
default style sheet.  You can work around this by specifying 
font-weight:normal;

e.g.

h2 {
font-family: Zapfino, cursive;
font-weight: normal;
}

cheers
