Yes, they've made the mistake of fixing the sizes of their blocks in
pixels and specifying "overflow: hidden;", meaning the resized text won't
fit. If you're using Firefox with a scroll wheel mouse, try holding down
the Ctrl key and spinning the wheel; you should be able to get it to less
than one word visible :-)

This is typical of the problems thrown up by people thinking that they can
treat a web page like a printed one.

You might want to have a look at Dan Cederholm's new book "Bulletproof Web
Design", which addresses exactly this kind of issue.
