I'm looking at the mainpage of slashdot with firefox on
linux and I just noticed that the font for article
headlines changed.

The css declaration only specifies
font-family:sans-serif, which works out as "bitstream
vera sans" on linux, rather than arial like on windows.

On the "old" non-css slashdot the headlines used arial
on linux too.

As bitstream vera sans is wider than arial this has the
potential to make headlines that fit in one line with
arial wrap to two lines when displayed with bitstream
vera sans.

    I don't know?

    Normally I'd have used some kind of feedback form, but there
    isn't one...

    In Firefox 1.0.6 in Windows XP, the font used for the title
    of a story is using the default sans serif font set in the
    browser. It used to force Arial (I think).
