Apple Apple's first Windows beta release of Safari had some nasty bugs, most importantly one where bold text wouldn't render on non-English versions of Windows. Since the 3.0.2 release has 'fixes for text display, non-English systems', this bug might by fixed. In addition, Security Update 2007-006 for Mac OS 10.3.9 and Mac OS 10.4.9 and later has been released. The update addresses two vulnerabilities in WebKit, one of which could lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution.

Most likely XP's Font Engine interpolates the result poorly.

The Fonts via OS X are very rich.

XP's font engine isn't used. That is the problem.

That's a pretty big assumption. Maybe OS X does it poorly, or the port of OS X's font smoothing technology doesn't work very well.
