This seems to be a tech evangelism bug.

When page is loaded, there is a JS script inside the page, sniffing what browser
is used, and loading good css for browser.

"// questa parte fa il check del font
if (navigator.appVersion.toLowerCase().indexOf('mac') !=-1) {
	if ((navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") &&
(parseInt(navigator.appVersion) > 3 )) 
		{
   			//alert("MAC IE");
   			document.write("<LINK REL=stylesheet HREF='/common/_css/pro/stampa_IE.css'
TYPE='text/css'>"); 
   		}
//	else if((navigator.appName == "Netscape") && (parseInt(navigator.appVersion)
> 3 )) 
		else
		{
			//alert("MAC NS");
			document.write("<link rel=stylesheet href='/common/_css/pro/stampa_MACNS.css'
type='text/css'>"); 
		}
}else { 
	if ((navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") &&
(parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 3 )) 
		{
   			//alert("PC IE");
   			document.write("<LINK REL=stylesheet HREF='/common/_css/pro/stampa_IE.css'
TYPE='text/css'>"); 
   		}
//	else if ((navigator.appName == "Netscape") && (parseInt(navigator.appVersion)
>= 3 )) 
		else
		{
			//alert("PC NS");
			document.write("<link rel=stylesheet href='/common/_css/pro/stampa_NS.css'
type='text/css'>"); 
		}
}
</script>"
