Thanks.  As it turns out, my HTML example was a poor one.  The real bug
comes when using font sizes in style sheets.  This can be viewed at:

    http://www.frontier.iarc.uaf.edu/~cswingle/test_css.html

It has font styles with 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 20 point fonts.
On my display 8 - 14 are exactly the same, 16 is a bit larger, and
20 is a bit larger than that.

At least one other Linux user working on the Mozilla source says he
doesn't have this problem.  I don't know what distribution he's using,
but it is possible this is a Debian problem (although I can't imagine
what it could be).
