 The download buttons in section 2 of
 [https://tails.boum.org/download/index.en.html] change their text font
 once when the mouse is moved over them.

 I currently have JS disabled by NoScript (by clicking the ‘Forbid Scripts
 Globally’ option), so this is a change caused by CSS only.  I don't know
 whether that's considered harmful, but I suspect that it is.

 The buttons keep their new font until the page is refreshed; then they
 return to their original font, and change to the (same) new font when
 mouseovered again.  The two fonts have different metrics, and the buttons'
 sizes change.

 (using TBB-Firefox in TBB `2.2.35-10-Linux-x86_64`, based on Firefox 12.0
 and Torbutton 1.4.5.1)
