I think I found a bug. That is, a Safari bug that can be worked around by other means. I tried using Cardo (only available as TrueType) on a site I'm building, and it renders inconsistently in Safari (Mac), cutting off lines of type at random heights.

This seems to be a TrueType bug in Safari that can be circumvented by using OpenType or SVG, which I discovered can be easily prepared with this excellent little tool: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator

I ended up opting for my own @font-face linkage with the multiple formats converted by the aforelinked, which seems to render much better across browsers.

Shouldn't be hard for Google to implement something like this, though.
