Here is another example of the problem. In this one the boxes around the first part of the text were drawn manually in inkscape.
In each case the text starts just to the left of the leading period, and ends at the right edge of the last "A". Again, as with the previous case, when viewed in Firefox the text extends beyond the edges of the box. This is quite disturbing because near as I can tell all units are in Pixels, and the font Arial is common, suggesting that Firefox (and the other browsers tested) are doing something quite different with text scaling/kerning/fonts than is Inkscape. I suppose this could be a font substitution issue, something else for Arial, in the browser, but do not see how to tell if that is the case.
