Description

Every time the page is refreshed after changing font encoding to fix HUGE fonts,
it reverts to HUGE fonts.

Could you please clearly describe the exact problem, and say what build you are
using?

[Bob Warren]

The build is Mozilla 0.9.9 (2002031104.)  When you visit the BBC page the fonts
are huge (new as of 0.9.9.)  When you change the fonts or encoding the fonts
will size as they did in previous releases.  However, when you refresh the or
revisit the site it will lose your font settings even though the codepage
appears to have stayed the same.

So... the real bug here is that changing encoding (even to the "current"
encoding that is picked on pageload) will change the fonts at all.  Sounds like
a reflow problem to me.

Over to layout.  I see that on Linux as well.

Hate to be picky, but I think layout and rendering bugs should be addressed
sooner than 'future.'  I think rendering is top priority since that's the main
feature of the browser.

start with...
