Looks like Safari doesn’t like the character set I’m using to specify the special characters after things like the text in the drop-down menus at the top of the page. It also doesn’t seem to support font-variant: small-caps.

Ah-ha. The small-caps issue is a known bug with Safari, so there’s nothing I can do about that.

After an exchange with bsag, it’s emerged that the problem is only with the character in the top-level menus — the other CSS-generated content displays correctly. Is it a bug with that Unicode character, \21D3?

bsag and have I decided it must be a bug, and she has very kindly submitted it to Apple via Safari’s Help menu. Obviously they’ll give it top priority. ;)

The font-variant: small-caps support has been added as of Safari 1.2, amongst other bug fixes.
