In Firefox while holding the "CTRL" key down press the "+" a couple of
times and get your answer!
That image and much of your design is absolute pixels places, but the
text size and spacing (and the font in fact) can vary from browser to
browser because of rendering methods, different default settings, user
preference, OS of user, font availability. To be brief, your design
plan is the problem, Google "liquid layouts" and avoid "position:
absolute;" in most cases...
