I'm not at home at the moment, so I can't test this on Linux, but
Mozilla 0.9.5 on Win32 has no problem with your sample. Each line of
text is printed larger than the one above it.
Could this be a matter of the fonts you're using? I notice that your
sample doesn't select a font, so the browser will use whatever default
the user has configured it for. I always use the Microsoft Georgia
TrueType font as my default serif font in graphical web browsers, as it
is superbly readable at small sizes.
