inline-block rendering issue on a specific Mac

I have run into a really strange problem. I do web application development and I have an app that uses inline-block. On one particular Mac (a MacBook Pro Retina 15, OS X 10.10, but I saw it with 10.9, too) the elements using inline-block display incorrectly. There may be other styles that are wrong, but the one I have found is inline-block. The really weird thing is it is broken the same way in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. I'm at a loss to explain how the same problem could show up in browsers with different rendering engines. It's obviously something to do with this specific Mac. I'm guessing I install something that tweaked a system-wide setting. No idea how to start tracking it down.

Has anyone ever run across such a thing? Again, it's specific to one Mac but spans browser rendering engines.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

I am having this issue as well, I have tested on every other mac and pc in the office and the website displays correctly but this one mac will not no matter what browser I use. Again it is related to display: inline-block; css value.

Ok I have found the solution to my problem, there was a faulty font used on that system with the same name, deleting the font from the computer seems to have resolved the issue in my case.
