I can't see why you would get modded down. that said I think the problem lies with the hinting and a badly formatted webpage. looking at the epiphany shot the hinting is awful but it helps squeezing the text together so that much more fits into the visible cell space.
I took a firefox 3 beta 5 screenshot from my xubuntu installation:

and here I have the pretty much the same font size as in your epiphany shot but with more readable hinting (wider spacing) on the text and as such it doesn't fit into the cell. again, I'd mainly chalk this up to very bad formatting on the original webpage, like in the following blurb "Sophie Monk, who dated Paris Hilton's beau, OK with nude scenes in new Winona Ryder movie", the word 'movie' isn't visible in either the epiphany shot you showed nor is it visible under Firefox on WinXP.
