Got this problem with font sizes on the Mac.

Friend has a site which looks fine on a Windows machine, but goes APE on a Mac.

Could someone check it out to see if it's an HTML coding difference? Maybe a font size code that will work on both OS's.

The addy of his site is: http://www.faa-fsr.com/

You need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape.
If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40.
If it moves and shouldn't, use duct tape.

I looked at the linked page with Firefox on my MacBook Pro and looks fine. Safari is a different thing, first part of the page is okay but the yellow text in the bottom half just keeps getting bigger as I scroll down, must be a coding thing in the page.

I just had a look using Safari o my iPad. The text keeps getting larger as I scroll Down. The lettering is all to the left side of page at the top, but soon one or two words fill the entire page.
