Fair enough, we all do what we can. I suppose I had in mind, (and
Bergamot too perhaps?), that under different text sizes,
different browsers might have different effects on the actual
layout. So seeing the one effect in one browser might not quite
do the trick. But perhaps you are doing what is as good as can be
expected. Not meaning to be too hard on you here.
