a request for help from CONTENTdm users on this list

[Thomas Dowling]

This has the feel of someone trying to be a little too precise with
over-complicated CSS, and not quite getting it right for cross-browser,
cross-platform solutions.  There are a lot of pixel-based measurements in
the main.css file, which always rings alarm bells for me.

I'd suggest commenting out anything in the CSS that touches the div
containing the text and the div below it.  Disable stuff until you have the
text displaying right, and then start re-enabling one directive at a time
until you see which one breaks it.
