Details

Recently pulled down 0.9.5 for FreeBSD to try out.  On the URL above I found
that the fonts are now rendering a full size smaller than with 0.9.4.  This
problem still exists in the latest build for FreeBSD.

0.9.4 renders this page nearly exactly to how it looks on Mozilla for Windows,
as well as the other major browsers for that platform.  On FreeBSD, Netscape
4.78 also renders this page is it should look.

I'm running FreeBSD 4.4-Stable with XFree86 4.1.0 and Xfstt 1.1 under the
Blackbox window manager.  Pulling 0.9.5 off this system and going back to a
0.9.4 package has things working nicely for me again, but anything newer is
unusable for me.

I posted this problem to the mozilla-general newgroup.  Had one person using
RedHat saying he didn't see this problem, and one other saying he was also using
RedHat and WAS seeing it.  Whatever is happening, it would seem there are likely
some dependancy problems that are more likely to be at fault than the OS itself.
 GTK libraries perhaps?

A couple of other pages having this problem:

erm. i thought this was one of rbs's bugs but i couldn't find it.

Might be a dup of bug 102199 (see also related bug 84884).
In the first case, the web-sniffer shows that the style-sheet is using 'pt':
