renders fine as far as I can tell (Linux trunk build 2002-04-24-07).  What
exactly do you see wrong with the rendering?

Over to layout, since <pre> is not a form control.

Minimum font size: None

I don't recall changing any of these, so I'm pretty sure they are the
defaults

This is the problem.  adobe-helvetica is not a monospace font.  You set it as
your monospace font, so we use it for <pre> elements...

I just tried taking a current build and creating a brand new profile.  The
default monospace font (and for that matter cursive/fantasy) came up as
adobe-courier (which _is_ monospace).

This sounds like a "self-changing" preference problem if anything, not layout.

Choess, are your font settings screwed up too?

Huh?  I guess I wasn't clear with my last comment, I have adobe courier for
monospace, WFM.

mass-verifying WorksForMe bugs.

reopen only if this bug is still a problem with a *recent trunk build*.
