Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 The attached image is of course our own about:tor page, which arguably
 needs revision because it uses absolute pixels for CSS layout, instead of
 layout that adapts to varying font sizes. Of course, there may be some
 websites that have the same problem, but I haven't run into such problems
 while browsing the web with the #13313 patch.

 gk, did you run into any websites with this issue as well?

 Another possible solution is to adjust the default font size for our
 bundled fonts, which are perhaps a little larger than the average.
