I don't know if it is just my browser, but at the top of the page where it says "everything we learned from users" the "d" in learned and the "f" in users are on-top of eachother.

I see this more often than I'd like and I think this is a race condition with custom fonts. It calculates the bounding box for words, then the font is downloaded, the font is rerendered, but the bounding box isn't updated for the new font's metrics. A reload, since the downloaded files are now cached, usually fixes it.

oh, what browser is that?

Chrome on Fedora Linux. Here is a screenshot. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/58437091/Selection_016.p...

I see similar formatting issues with Chrome a lot, on Windows as well as on Linux.
