Go to http://client/seamonkey/navigator/search-home.htm using Seamonkey. Go to same web page using Navigator 4.7 Notice that the font size of the text in the Seamonkey build is much larger then what you have in Navigator 4.7. That is wrong, and messes up content provider's ability to create pages that look good on different browsers. This is particulary problematic for Netcenter creating My Sidebar panels.

This can only be addressed in the chrome, probably in global.css and/or navigator.css, which are locked down for changes except through their owner. Moving from "B-G" component to "XP Toolkit/Widgets", not knowing who better to send this to. Also, currently the base font size for everything in Mozilla is specified in mm, so scaling of display device physical dpi, stubbed in at Edit>Preferences> Appearance>Fonts>Font Scaling, may be relevant for content providers used to thinking in terms of a specific number of pixels for the size of the navigator fonts ... if this gets implemented fully.
This has nothing to do with the chrome or with XPToolkit. This is a problem with HTML. It should be given to rickg and Gecko.
Possibly I'd have been less likely to put my foot in my mouth if I'd been able to view the testcase... sorry. Moving to "Layout" and assigning to rickg as suggested.

The table looks fine to me, but the fonts are a little bigger. I know that pierre has an issue here, so I'll reassign this to him.
