I'm not at home at the moment, so I can't test this on Linux, but Mozilla 0.9.5 on Win32 has no problem with your sample. Each line of text is printed larger than the one above it. Could this be a matter of the fonts you're using? I notice that your sample doesn't select a font, so the browser will use whatever default the user has configured it for. I always use the Microsoft Georgia TrueType font as my default serif font in graphical web browsers, as it is superbly readable at small sizes. Craig
