User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070509 Camino/1.5 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070509 Camino/1.5 When trying to view this page, either the body text is too small to read or header is so large that it obscures the regular text. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Look at page 2. There it is 3. Profit! Actual Results: as i said
This isn't a problem here in Firefox, Camino, or Safari, which leads me to believe that you probably have a preference (specifically, a font pref) that's causing this. Try a fresh profile using http://pimpmycamino.com/parts/troubleshoot-camino and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, you have a bad font pref set somewhere and this is WORKSFORME.
By 'header' I suppose you mean the line: 'The iPhone Threat to Adobe, Microsoft, Sun, Real, BREW, Symbian' under the graphic image at the top. It covers the subsequent text when enlarged, yes. That is a site design problem, not a Camino problem.
What do you have set as your minimum font size in Preferences -> Fonts -> Advanced? A small (or "none") value there, combined with a small default font size and/or smallish default font, could easily cause this problem. Again, that's a site/prefs problem, not a Camino problem. Sites should be smart enough not to set tiny body text font sizes. (I blame Windows and its huge default fonts for this fairly prolific and annoying bad habit on the part of Web designers.)

Well, I tried it again and this time there were no big letters. So, I will mark it as resolved, "worksforme". Thanks for the comments and help on the process. Martin Cohen
