        That's really fascinating that it results in different output depending on your browser.

Once had this dude sign up for our page management... we had a lot of assumptions about plain or at least sane text that had to get updated. https://www.facebook.com/glitchr https://www.facebook.com/glitchr

  That is hilarious. Can't scroll down without it crashing the tab.

    Same here. Crashes in Chrome. I wonder if that could be exploited...

    Works fine on Chrome 25.0.1364.97 on Ubuntu 12.10. Is this a browser issue or something with the underlying platform font rendering libs ?

      The problem seems to be restricted to Windows - apparently it looks normal on Ubuntu and Mac. (Here: Mac 10.6, works fine on Chrome, Firefox and Safari.) So I guess it's a platform issue.

        Chrome on Win7 64-bit here; it does not crash as I scroll down.

        Crashes both Safari 6.0.1 and Chrome 25.0.1364.155 on OSX 10.8.2 over here.

There's a twitter account, glitchr which posts lots of these things: https://twitter.com/glitchr_ https://twitter.com/glitchr_ glitchr's tweets may cause other twitter clients to crash too, eg this one (you have been warned!) https://twitter.com/joshlogan42/status/303975029698342912 https://twitter.com/joshlogan42/status/303975029698342912
