Haven't tracked this down yet, but for some reason FF3 is picking up "Futura Condensed Medium" instead of "Futura Medium", which is what it probably should be picking up. As a temporary workaround, you can explicitly specify "Futura Medium". Sorry for the bother...

Further testing and talk with Stuart revealed: Firefox 3 does kerning, Safari doesn't, so it will always look a little different. However, Safari shows it the same way across Tiger and Leopard, and on Leopard Firefox 3 shows the fonts as squooshed.

Filed bug 400717.

Hm. For some reason it seems to look OK on Firefox 3 w/OSX Tiger but not on Firefox 3 w/OSX Leopard (I just did a side by side comparison with the same build).

Looks good to me on today's trunk win32 nightly -- that is, it looks pretty much the same as it does on IE7. Perhaps it's a Mac issue?
