Go to <http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/>.  If there is a tropical depression,
storm, or hurricane below the map, select its Public Advisory or its
Forecast Discussion.

As of the moment there are no depressions to examine. I suggest using "The Wayback Machine" [https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/] to chose a sample occurrence so all can refer to same instance.


 The HTML for the main body of text is contained
between <pre> and </pre> and is Courier New at 10px per an external CSS.
  Note that the tops of the letters are cut off.

I see similar problems elsewhere on the Web.  This is all relatively
new, but I cannot recall whether it started before or after updating to
SeaMonkey 2.35 from 2.26.1 or before or after installing the July
Windows updates.  The problem goes away when I zoom text larger.  Also,
I do not see this problem with Courier New at 12px in Word 2007.

Is this a problem with the Web page, with the Gecko rendering, or with
how Windows handles fonts?  Also, why is the text rendered at 10px when
I specified a minimum font-size of 12px?


I have seen some strange appearing text displays dependent on 'font size' *AND* 'screen resolution'. In my case Lenovo T43 running WinXP Pro SP3 and SeaMonkey <= 2.26.1 .

E.G. on http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/getobext.php?wfo=&sid=KSGF&num=48&raw=0&dbn=m&banner=off when changing the minimum font size from 17 pixels to 18 pixels the visual effect is similar to going from alight weight font to a bold font. YMMV
