I can reproduce this. It looks _very_ bad on Firefox/Fedora Core 19, and but it also appears to a lesser degree on Chrome/Fedora Core 19. Compare it against monobook https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Hamilton_wins_%27incredible%27_Bahrain_race,_F1%27s_900th_Grand_Prix?useskin=monobook See also the "ама" in the bold title in the first sentence of https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/?oldid=58319520 vs https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/?oldid=58319520&useskin=monobook -- John Vandenberg _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
