Keith, do you have any idea why the "T" is so badly
(over)kerned in "CONTACT" ?

This is rather odd. It happens on Firefox 5 but not Internet Explorer 9. On Firefox, it happens even if I add
* {text-rendering: optimizeSpeed !important}
which is supposed to prevent kerning and ligatures, see
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/text-rendering

Yet it is apparently kerning (or ligature) of some kind, as the phenomenon vanishes if you write CONT‌ACT instead of CONTACT. (The page uppercases "Contact" with CSS, but this does not seem to affect the issue - the phenomenon is there even when the data itself is in uppercase.)
