it's simply a matter of font-size. Reduce the the font-size to .84em and Safari will fit the list items horizontally. There are differences in the way browsers round font-sizes.

All looks well on any site

All looks well on any site is a matter of opinion.
Depending on the Mac platform there will be differences in font rendering. Regardless of the billboard dilemma, +2 font-scaling destroys your page in Mac OS 10.4.11 Safari/3.1.2. It will be worse in Leopard. Same is true in Mac OS 10.4.11 Camino at +2(but may not be as bad in Leopard).
In a similar manner, XP IE/6 and IE/7 do a number on the primary content text at text-size "largest."As does Firefox/2.0.0.14 on XP or Mac at +2.
This is not to say folks are running around trying to break your page on an any platform or browser they can get their grubby paws on. But it does give rise to making statements like "all looks well with my site..."
Name of the game is push the envelope and test from here until eternity. If you don't, you can be assured someone else will. That someone may turn out to be an important user (if not a client).

thanks for the advice guys, i have reduced the size, and all (touch wood) seems to be well, i know that text-size increases are going to cause problems, but the client wanted initial large(ish) fonts and i am kind of restricted with the space i have (ie; the billboard), so kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place on that one!!!!
