Community: The number of views runs into the question

    In the MO homepage, there are a number of questions whose total views is between 100 and 1000. These appear to be running into the question titles. I'm using Chrome on Linux; I actually don't see the problem with other browsers though. So I can't tell whether it was a website change or just a bug in Chrome.
  2.  
    What Chrome are you using? I'm on Ubuntu 9.04 and I just tried Chrome 5.0.375.126 and I can't reproduce the bug, even by squeezing the browser into all kinds of painful window geometries. Firefox also looks ok.
  3.  
    5.0.375.126 on Debian 5.0, with no special configurations. I never noticed it when using other flavors of Linux, so unless there was a recent change to the layout, I suppose it is a bug in the package. It's presumably not worth worrying about then, especially as the other browsers work fine.

    This looks like the same bug I reported a few months ago to the regular Stack Overflow meta site: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/33090/slight-rendering-bug-in-chrome-linux-view-count-and-title-overlap

    The fix that Jeff Atwood ended up applying is listed there as well.

    Cheers,
    Adrian

    (The reason automorphism doesn't see the problem and you do is probably that automorphism has installed the msttcorefonts package)

    Ah, you're right--it looks better now. Thanks!

    I don't understand the fix. When I manually change the font family to

    font-family:Trebuchet MS,Liberation Sans,DejaVu Sans,sans-serif;

    as suggested in Jeff's answer, it actually gets wider and spills into the title. Without manually changing the font, I don't see the bug when running Chrome 5.0.375.125 on Ubuntu 10.04.

    I simply adjusted manually the font sizes instead of following precisely Jeff's answer. But I assumed that the Chrome default fonts would have remained the same, and that the strange display must have been a consequence of a modification to the MO stylesheet, so I posted here. Apparently that was not the case though.
  9.  

    Now I'm confused about both the bug and the fix. Is this something I should be trying to fix in css or not? For now, I'll assume not.

    @Anton: What was the font-family list originally, before applying any fixes?

    And do you have the msttcorefonts package installed on the machine that you're doing the testing on?
