I thought I had that fixed already by specifying some other
line-height for h1, but apparently I hadn't. Thanks for pointing
it out.

Anyway I now followed your suggestion of changing 120% to 1.2
(without doing anything special with h1). To my amazement this
made a difference; the line spacing inside the h1 (if it is longer
than one line) is now correct. It doesn't change anything in the
rest of the page. I thought (from the CSS specs) that 1.2 and 120%
were just the same.

This does not happen in any of the computers (Windows and Linux
only) or browsers that I tested it with. The distances between the
buttons are (must be in this case) fixed in pixels, so it seems
that your system has a bigger default font size than the systems I
used. No particular font was specified; I assumed (apparently
wrongly) that the java default font is always the same. BTW Are
the texts "Nmasses" and "Spring display" also too big? I mean, do
they run into the buttons on the right? They are "text" fonts
which may be different from "UI" fonts.
