Safari and font issues... ɶ vs œ
In Firefox, there's the option to force websites to use the fonts you specify rather than choosing their own fonts. I didn't think this was all that important until I came across this little error in whatever font Safari is using for Wikipedia:
ɶ vs œ
The first character should be a small capital form of Œ (the OE digraph).
The second should be the lowercase form of Œ (the oe digraph).
As I'm posting this, they are both displaying correctly. On the Wikipedia page, however, small capital ɶ and lowercase œ both look like lowercase œ.
Test: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openfront_roundedvowel
(Compare IPA text to IPA image on the right side of the page. If the text matches the image, you're good. If not, you're having the same issue that I am.)
I'm not trying to nitpick, but as a linguist this is very frustrating because each character represents a distinct sound and it's VERY important that I be able to tell them apart.
Any ideas?
