    Today I updated to Safari 6.1 on OS X Lion. I noticed there seems to be a difference in font rendering… specifically when using fixed positioning. I made a basic test case comparing the rendering using both absolute and fixed positioning. The absolute text appears normal, while the fixed text appears slightly thinner… essentially the same output that -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; produces.

    Sample: http://jsfiddle.net/GewQc/show/

    Is anyone else experiencing this? is there a proper fix? Any help is appreciated.

    Looks like a bug to me. None of the standard tricks seem to work to fix it.
