Can anyone duplicate this behaviour?

Works for me on:

$ rpm -q  publican-doc firefox
publican-doc-0.39-0.fc10.noarch
firefox-3.0.4-1.fc10.x86_64

Further investigation shows that this is related to my use of a 12pt minimimum font size in:
    Edit->Preferences->Content->Fonts&Colors->Advanced

The sizes of the fonts themselves don't seem to matter, just the minimum size.

I guess this is a firefox bug then?

It's due to the way the style sheet layouts out the column widths. Changing the size of the font in one area without a relative change in another area means the width doesn't get adjusted in a relative fashion and the overlap occurs.

Disabling the minimum font size and hitting '+' to increase the font size scales correctly.

Disabling CSS scales correctly.

This one will take a bit of thinking to fix :)

Yes, ctrl-shift-+ works, but this zoomed state is per URL, so change to a different URL and its unreadable again.

Setting all fonts to 16pt, and disabling "allow pages to set own fonts"
seems to be totally ignored.   Font size looks to be about 8pt.

xdpyinfo returns reasonable results  96dpi.

Why does minimimum font size not apply to all areas in CSS?

Seems like minimimum font size was calculated differently into the column width than it was into the font size (note extra space on right of text in sidebar).

The minimum does apply across all areas of the CSS, however only some areas in the CSS have a font size that calculates to less than 12pt and only those areas have their font size increased by setting minimum font size.

This is what leads to only those parts with small font sizes having their width, margin and padding increased.

When FF finds an area that has a font size less than the minimum it only increases the font size in that area.

It would be nice if it had an option to increase all font sizes proportionally until the smallest font size was the minimum ... but it doesn't, so I will have to find another solution :)

Cheers, Jeff.

Removed override of font size in TOC and reduced white space around TOC to balance out font size increase.
