I opened it in both Mozilla and Konqueror and the problem seems to be that 
they are rendering with different fonts. Konqueror is consistently sans serif 
and generally a larger point size. 

For what it's worth, I think the Konqueror version is much more legible, 
except for the places where things overlap because of the size differences. 
The teensy italic white-on-brown text in the MuseSig box is really obnoxious 
in the mozilla rendering, but Konqueror version is quite nice. 

Looks like my fonts in Konq are specified as 
Minimum 9 pts
Medium 11 pts
Standard Sans
Fixed Monospace
Serif Times
Sans, Cursive and Fantasy all Helvetica
Font size adjustment 0
Use Language Encoding

Mozilla is 1.4.1. 
Fonts for Western
Proportional: Serif Size 16 pixels
Serif: serif
Sans-serif: san-serif
Cursive: serif
Fantasy: Serif
Monospace: monospace size 12 pixels
Minimum font size: None
Allow documents to use other fonts
Display resolution: system setting

I use Konq except for Web sites that won't work with it, so Mozilla's settings 
are probably defaults and Konq's may have been customized somewhere along the 
line. I suspect that if I changed Mozilla's minimum font size to something 
legible, the display in Mozilla might break the same way Konq's is broken.
