Try Firefox (or any Mozilla-based browser) on Windows:

Or Safari:

As I said, it's now unreadable.

Until we can work out the proper fix, I would recommend putting it back
to how it was; having larger (but perfectly readable) fonts in some
browsers is far better than having tiny fonts in others.

Emily
