If you grab the stand-alone executable version of ADE, it actually runs perfectly fine under Wine.

Alas not... The difference between using ems vs. no units is that with no units cascaded elements will be that multiple of their font-size, no matter what the font size is. With ems, you fix the line-height to a particular measure which then doesn't change with changing font-sizes.

I actually don't think it should be a problem as long as it's an em-based or unitless measure which varries with font-size. Because the spec doesn't specify an exact default value there isn't any other way to get pixel-perfect layouts.

I apparently should have tested what I was proposing, and I apologize for not having done so :-/. As already posted, no change. However, playing around with it, I discovered that the culprit is the negative left margin on 'span.first'. I hesitate to theorize why ADE doesn't want to float the float before text which is pulled left of the left margin / into the box occupied by the float, but there you go.
