Hi Gracia,

I doubt there is actually a problem with Konqueror. It is more likely you need 
to adjust your Konqueror default fonts (typeface and size.) When you do that, 
of course, it affects every page you view in Konqueror, meaning if the only 
placee you're having problems with is the NYT site, try View->Enlarge Font or 
View -> Shrink Font and see if that fixes the alignment. Just be sure to set 
it back to default when you surf elsewhere.

There are other factors at play to consider: your display resolution (physical 
H x V pixels) and your DPI setting (aspect ratio.) You can see the NYT site 
looks fine in Konqueror using my default settings:
