I'm fine with verdana being that different, my only problem is that now
it's rendering differently than it used to before my last testing
update.

Ah, well I was just using the CSS way of saying it, as in 
  
  font-size: 10pt;

since browser preferences have no effects on styled web pages (which is
where my problem comes up).

I have verified this both on a fresh install and on another partition
after a dist-upgrade.

Anyway I'll link again the screenshot with the differences in font
rendering:
