browser inconsistencies - calling CSS experts

I am going to paraphrase a conversation that i heard
recently on IRC, discussing the usability of the
current Forrest website.

"can't even view it with FireFox ... more-or-less works
in FF for me ... perhaps designed for IE ... the search box
is all over the place ... fonts are unreadable ... the
font-size twiddlers don't work ... ? all looks fine to me ... ".

Why are people seeing these inconsistencies.

Calling all CSS experts in our midst. We need your patches.

Well, i thought that you would have. It is fine for me with old
Mozilla on Linux and Safari on Mac.

If no-one reports specific issues, then there is not much that
we can do. Still it is disheartening to head people express such
things about our website.

I know that with Mac IE the pelt skin is screwed. I tested with Safari
as well and it is fine. 

Other browser (on linux/windows) I have been tested pelt with have been
IE >5, FireFox >0.8, Mozilla, Epiphany and Konqueror.

All have been fine.

see FOR-419 for a screenshot of MSIE:
fonts are way too small ...
in firefox it displays fine.

I am using firefox 1.0/debian and it works for me.

I am checked using this and repors no warnings or errors:
