Hello

why is html/css display on fedora on firefox and google chrome alike is
different than on other os ? some times the size of a font can break the
display of a site which looks right on windows and not on fedora.

is there a way to work around this issue by tweaking some settings on
firefox and google chrome ?

None of which I am aware.

I recently came across something similar where Firefox and Chrome rendered the same page differently. The cause was not the browser but the page.

If a page does not have a valid <doctype> a browser will fall back to a thing called *quirks mode* which is different across browsers. (When they say quirks they are not kidding.) When I added the <doctype> both Firefox and Chrome rendered the page more or less similarly.

Another issue is that different browsers use different default fonts and font sizes. As when using the <doctype>, specifying the desired font can help pages render more closely.

But again, these are changes that must be made to the page.
