User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Build Identifier: The font on this webpage is abnormally small with Firefox, but is fine with any other browser. Sometimes if the page is refreshed enough, it'll return to normal once. The code used for the HTML is this: <font size="-1"><table width="100%"><tr><td><font size=2><pre><code><font size=2>Wed Mar 2 15:29:16 PST 2005 But as I said, only Firefox has the problem. This is how it looks on Firefox: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v123/rebirthseph/gamfirefox.jpg Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Firefox 2. Go to http://www.gammon.com.au 3. View any post with a code tag used Actual Results: It displayed the text in a small font, almost unreadable. Expected Results: Displayed it in normal font. Tried with many different computers and Firefox versions. All have the problem.
Both <pre> and <code> cause the use of monospace fonts. The default monospace font in FF is 3 or 4 sizes smaller than for proportional. To these smaller fonts is applied <font size=2> which makes them smaller still. Go into your options for fonts and either make the size bigger, and/or choose a font family for monospace that renders larger, such as Bitstream Vera Sans Mono (a free download font).
Yes but it'll randomly change, sometimes back to normal font, and most of the time, this small font. "The bug isn't so much the funny display, but the inconsistent display and how it changes after refresh etc."
Please attach the page that causes problems here, and try to make as small testcase as possible. When I loaded the page first time, everything was ok, but after a load, the text was indeed smaller. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050319 Firefox/1.0+

Testcase WFM, I think

Not as big a difference in size as can be seen in the Photobucket-screenshot
