Fontheight problem with large fonts, probably Table related

I use large fonts (size 22) and some websites that use tables as a layout tool do not display correctly, for example http://www.khanacademy.org/#browse or http://youtube.com

The bottom half of the font inside tables is overlayed by the line below and the only way the page can be read is by using View->Style->No Style

It looks like the table height doesn't take the font height into account, as soon as the minimum font size size is above 14 it becomes progressively unreadable.

Chosen solution

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.

  • Edit > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)

Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.

  • Edit > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.
