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?

MacBook5,1, Mac OS X (10.5.7), Safari Version 4.0 (5530.17)
