This website is displaying incorrectly. The <h1> is displaying as italic. The CSS for <h1> is:

h1 {
	font: 250% Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
	color:#00C;
	font-weight: 200;
	text-align:left;
	margin-left: 28%;	
}

It displays correctly in other browsers.

The answer to this lies in the font-weight... Change it to normal, bold or bolder and all is well.

It appears to be a bug at least in the Macintosh rendering of font-weights.
