Thank you for ruining my page rendering.

What does it do? Chrome on Linux just has it a bit garbage-y, nothing major: http://i.imgur.com/BopYxYM.png

Interestingly in my Chrome (27 dev) it looks like this in Linux: http://i.imagebanana.com/img/voz9pem7/Auswahl_048.png

Chrome Windows 7 ends up rendering them all as boxes. The lack of whitespace prevents line breaking. The problem is that it forces the container out to 1400px wide, rather than responding to browser width.

I really don't like trying to read 1400px long lines of text.

Chrome on Windows 7 renders all the text fine for me

Chrome on Windows 7 here, renders most of them as boxes.

I prefer firefox (mac): http://i.imgur.com/Wcjz21T.png

Yep, FF on mac here and it looks great. Why do people keep using Chrome, IE, Safari, and Opera?

I see most of the Unicode characters on Firefox/Gentoo Linux with the following packages installed:
