using @font-face with a bold typeface is not rendering properly (on safari osx -- which is really all that matters)

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9081221/safari-css-bold-font-too-bold

tried the following suggestions, none solved the issue:

font-weight: normal;

-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;

text-shadow: #000000 0 0 0px; /* doesn't work anymore */
