           Summary: font size specified in % is rounded down making text not
                    readable
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://suggestions.yahoo.com/
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: help.improve.webkit at gmail.com

I Steps:

II Issue:
The text in footer is not readable.

III Conclusion: font size specified in % is causing the issue. There is a
significant rendering different between FF and webkit with font 80% and 77%.
webkit renders small text when the size is 77%.Therefore WebKit is choosing to
round down where as other browsers choose to round up (when choosing the
"intrinsic font" to scale to 77%).

IV Other browsers: 
FF: ok
Opera: ok
IE 7: ok

V Nightly tested: 30236
