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:

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.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".
This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.
While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Testcase WFM, I think
Not as big a difference in size as can be seen in the Photobucket-screenshot
