I have not done that, wasn't even aware it was possible (thanks! what other of the reasons I used to prefer galeon are lurking undocumented? can I get my tabs down the left side? paste a URL onto a titlebar icon to get a new page opening it?).

I do see that if I use the ^+ keystroke, I can make the text leak past some static box that must have been set for it. Is that a bug? It looks like at least an incomplete feature: if fonts get magnified, the space they're in ought to be, too.

I restarted firefox to take this morning's update, and lo and behold the page looked fine. The font is smaller than it was before. I was writing an "all done" comment when I decided to see what other browsers did. Opera displays it bigger and leaking out of the box. I made a new tab and visited it in firefox, per the description above, and it was bigger in that tab than in my original one, and leaking over the following text again! When I went back to the original window, so was it. Then I killed both tabs and restarted firefox, and the problem was there with the first visit to the page (after changing colors, which also changes font size).

So, try revisiting the site in another tab and see what happens. Be sure to do the color change as written above.
