Text overflowing frames..

Whenever I access www.times.co.uk the front page always has some frames where the text overflows. IE9, Chrome and Firefox all show the page correctly. Zooming in or out does not improve the situation. What could be the likely cause and how might I alter parameters to fix it?
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Opera 11.52 (but same in 12 Alpha)

I think you mean http://www.thetimes.co.uk
I can't reproduce your problem here. Are you using any extensions?

Thanks. Yes I had extensions running. I disabled them all, rebooted and tried again but the problem remains.

I've tried playing around with zoom, fit to width etc. But nothing I do makes enables me to reproduce this.
It has to be something specific to your system.

Very odd. As I say, the other main browsers display the page perfectly OK.

I just had a thought and reduced screen resolution but that made no difference to the problem.

Is there a way to alter the default browser font sizes? Worth a try to see if reducing it makes any difference.

You can change fonts via Ctrl+F12 Advanced|Fonts
I don't think that's the problem though.

I went to Ctrl+F12 then Webpages and dropped the fonts there by one notch each:




Thanks very much for your input.
