In my browser (Chrome 29 on Windows 7), descenders are chopped off in comments, which makes it fairly annoying to read, as g's look like q's (most other letters with descenders are fairly unambiguous, ypj)

Post prose is fine, it just seems to be a comment issue just on Ask Ubuntu (Stack Overflow is fine).

It looks fine under Chrome in Ubuntu (29 on 12.04), and IE10 on Win7 (same machine as where Chrome chops them)

  • I'm not sure this is something we can solve, it seems to be specific to your config.

  • @RolandiXor do you mean to say that it is not reproducible or it's just an edge case? People who use Chrome under Windows isn't exactly a minor, 'edge' case.

  • @NickT well most people here use Ubuntu ;) I am not in Chromium right now but I've not noticed this issue before.

  • I've been seeing this for a while even on Firefox running on Ubuntu but only because I don't use the default font, whatever that is. If I use the default font, there's no truncation of the descenders.

  • .comment-copy { line-height: **px !important } or whatever px works for me.
