From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204 BuildID: 2020020417 <STYLE> <!-- BODY { font-family: "Helvetica"; font-size: 2 } --> </STYLE> <BODY TEXT="#000000" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> some text - - - - Text is rendered in microtype, although a table is correctly rendered. Same failure with or without the table. See the tiny 2 lines at the bottom of the page. Fails with both the 0.97 build 2002020417 and a later build: 20020308 Page can be on www or on local disk - no difference. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go to reference url. Display page. 2. 3. Actual Results: last 2 lines (after table) are in microtype. Expected Results: Font size +2 If the table is removed, all body text is in microtype. If the body style is removed, the text is rendered correctly.
Font size of 2 means just that - font size of 2. It doesn't mean +2. This page displays the same on IE and Mozilla. I believe the only reason it works on any 4.x browser is because the STYLE tag is actually not being applied.

OK - the culprit is Star Office 5.1 conversion to HTML which created the offending font-size value. font-size: +2 doesn't work in Mozilla (according to Musciano & Kennedy - HTML Definitive Guide - "incremental point sizes are not currently handled correctly by any browser").
