Ugly web site in Firefox on Linux

Hey guys,

Am I the only one who doesn't see this web site properly?

http://spring.clan-sy.com/wiki/SetupGuide

The text on the page goes over the borders of the middle portion of the page. I'm using the Firefox (2.0.0.10), not IceWeasel, on Debian 4.0.

This page is the only one that seems to have the problem. Doesn't happen in IE on Windows.

Any ideas?

doesn't happen on windows with FF 3.0b3, but there are other issues with everything on spring.clan-sy.com site in that browser.

I use Fedora 8 and see nothing wrong with it (both FF 2.0.0.12 and Swfiftfox 3.0b4pre).

Maybe it's a bigger font?

If I ctrl+scrollwheel a bit (in FF 2.0.0.12) I can get the page to go outside the borders too.

The <pre> tags will break the page format if it contains a single line that is too long since it won't wrap that text. I updated the page awhile ago and broke up some of those lines until it looked correct but it may not have been enough on certain resolutions/font sizes.

In firefox b3r3 and r2 the page contents are shifted ~10/5 pixels to the left, this being under windows. There are also one or two minor issues under safari on the iTouch/phone.

I'm using the standard size font. I don't remember my resolution off hand. I can't test anything since I'am away from home for the next week. Thanks for looking into this. When I get back I'll see if it's still not showing properly.
