--- Comment #2 from Krinkle <[email protected]> ---
This is due to Monobook's "interesting" way of resetting the font-size to a
consistent value cross-browser. It sets the <body> font-size to x-small, and
then turn it back up to regular size with "font-size: 127%;" from their
globalWrapper div.

Due to this odd construct, any new elements attached to the <body> have an
exceptionally small font size.

Short of hardcoding a larger font-size for the overlay wrappers in Monobook or
appending to #globalWrapper in monobook (which might cause others bugs due to
not being in the <body> directly) - short of that this is a tough one to get
right. Ideally core would fix this in Monobook by using the same font-size
technique used by Vector.

In Monobook's author's defence (Gabriel), the browsers we had to support when
Monobook was being developed made it quite difficult to do right so this was
probably the best way to do it at the time – but we no longer need to worry
about IE5.5, IE4-for-Mac, Opera<7 etc.
