Frank just helped me find something else too.

If you are on a PC with a roller-ball mouse, press control while rolling the
ball.  You'll see the spacing flair out on the page even though the text all
stays the same size.  This happens when you have elements that use text
sizes not specifically set in pixels in the styles.  So, you are most likely
using non-breaking spaces or actual spaces to fill up empty cells, but the
cells do not have any styles applied to them.

There are three ways to fix this:

1.  Apply a style to the TD in general, setting it's pixel height for fonts.
2.  Use single-pixel spacers instead of spaces.
3.  Do not use ANY pixel defined classes and change the layout so it does
not break if the user has specified some odd-ball font size.

: 1) Bottom text nav and scroller text is way to small. This is typical
: for a site developed on Windows, not tested on Mac.
