Would be nice if you tell us your mozilla version and the used fonts.

Seems to work fine here with moz-1.3-r1.  Guess it could be a font setup problem
if he have the same version.

He did not react now for nearly two weeks. I set this to NEEDINFO.

Created attachment 10062 [details]
Illustrativ screenshot

So, this is Moz 1.3 as you can see. ( right window )

how did i creat this?
#1 # mozilla &
#2 open up http://inselkampf.de/forum/ ( middle window )
#3 <crtl-n> and open http://www.inselkampf.de/forum/ ( left window )

I'm sorry, this took so long. But i was not a home. And didn't have a chance to
check my mail.

So i hope this does illustrate the problem i have pretty well ;)
( this did even occure on slashdot once/twice... )

reg.
