It looks fine to me on a Linux-Athena machine as long as I use the
default font size. If I hit ctrl-+ to increase the font size, I get the
behavior you describe. Pages commonly look wrong with non-default font
sizes (which is one of the reason I've been hoping for a full-zoom
feature in Mozilla/Firefox as an alternative to text zoom), and I'm not
sure the page designer can do much about that.
It's possible that this behavior is different on Suns; it's not
convenient for me to test at the moment. Can you try hitting ctrl-0 to
ensure that you're at the default font size?
