When viewing this page with Firefox on Windows it looks perfect.  But it is
faulty when using the same version of Firefox on my Fedora Core 2 machine.

The top of the page should display "Welcome <username> ....", but on Linux it is
hidden by the "The Age" banner.

Also if you scroll down the page, heading like "World, National, Sport,
Entertainment, etc..." look great on Windows, but do not line up on Linux.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse to http://www.theage.com.au/
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The Linux version of Firefox has some errors when displaying the page wheras the
Windows version does not.

Expected Results:  
The page should look the same on Linux and Windows

This can be reproduced on other platforms as well by increasing the font size
(CTRL-+).
However, this is not a Mozilla bug: the page specifies a height for the top
white stripe in pixels. If the size of the used font causes the contents of that
stripe to exceed the specified height, Mozilla correctly crops the contents.
The only issue here might be why the font used on Linux is larger than the one
used on other platforms.

I agree with Uri for the problem at the top.
The second problem is only occurs when you set the "minimal font size" set in
your personal preferences. The page has <h4>World</h4> headings that they style
with 'font-size:1px' and then there is a background image (the blue text)
that you actually see. (Maybe they want this for text selection?).

I set "minimum font size" to "none" and it all lines up now.  Thanks for
helping, I guess you guys can close this bug.
