[SOLVED] Wrong size of fonts in web browsers.

The image attached explain best this issue.

Usually this HTML menu fits fine. I just installed Kubuntu 10.04 and I have this bad behavior. I am sure that is only in my local environment, not in other computers (nor page zoom involved).

Looks the same in firefox, chrome, konqueror...

I assume that is a font problem, but not sure. Any tip is welcome.

Thanks.-

It could be your screen resolution. If you bump it up to one size larger, it might do the trick. But then everything might be too small. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Uninstall the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package; that seems to cause problems with large text for me, especially in Firefox.

Probably best solution is to adjust the stylesheets of the page and size down the font-size of these elements a bit. If some visitors come from windows they'll probably have Arial or whatever font is used there installed on their box and thus will encounter the same 'misbehaviour'. Or isn't it sort of public site?

Fantastic! Indeed I installed ttf-mscorefonts-installer. That fixed the problem.
Thanks!
