There is an issue where Safari renders fonts at fixed sizes and other browsers render them more exactly:

So if you request your text to be a size that falls between two of Safari's steps, you will get a different result in Safari than in other browsers.

So depending on how you declare the font sizes and how the window is sized, you will get differently-sized results.
