As described above... When GPU is turned OFF then font size is OK again. IE9 with GPU doesn't have this problem. Try it yourself! Any others sites with Arial Narrow ( I think ).

I'm a web developer and now preparing site with Arial Narrow.. ( still I can't show it on web ). So this is trouble for me, because I planning some font-size but FF4 with GPU makes it bigger!

Same problem with my site. I'm mainly using Arial on my site too, but it effects other fonts too like Verdana. With long text block the placement goes all wrong, causing text to go on top of each other and text goes behind pictures.

Seems like this is caused by some particular graphics cards with some specific drivers. My site did work ok with FF4, untill I updated my graphics card.

EDIT: Noticed that the problem only occurs when I use font sizes of 11 or bigger. Size 10 and smaller are all working ok.
