There is actually a reason for that line. Without that compensation, pre text ends up tiny on the majority of browsers/platforms (try it and see :) It sounds as though the Firefox default configuration under FreeBSD is changing the size of pre. I'll have to see if there's a workaround; simply removing the line will fix Firefox on FreeBSD, but then there'll be a worse issue with the text being unreadable on most browsers/platforms. I'll look into this further. Emily
