looks bloody awful in firefox on debian, until I switch font
(on the site) from 'normal' to 'large'.

Anyone else seeing that? I'm sure it was fine a couple of weeks back.

don't know about the fonts, but 15 minutes and still trying to load it.
several other sites, fast, fully loaded in less than a second.

Hi,

If your font issues are still occuring after doing a Ctrl-Reload (and
switching back to 'Normal' text), then, can you please send me a screenshot?

Sorted now, thanks. Didn't need to shift-relod, it just worked...

The website went down long before the news was posted to slashdot. By
the time it hit slashdot, things were fixed already. Luckily.
