Hm, that's too bad. Guess it's a matter of default monospace fonts 
having wildly different x-heights, then. Yeeeah, courier new does look 
tiny, about 3/4 the height of bitstream vera sans mono, and I guess 
those two are the common ones :(

comparison, with a few liveCDs so personal settings don't come into play:
- win98: fine in firefox & explorer
- knoppix: grossly oversized in konqueror, signifigantly in firefox
- ubuntu: badly oversized in konqueror, reasonable in firefox

*sigh*, *shrug*
