I understand the incentive to do that. However, one of the purposes of this site is to have a quick overview which testsuites pass or fail where. For example I might want to know if some testsuite fails on all machines, or on which it does.

If all tests of a particular thorn pass everywhere, this should already collapse in the small (default) table. This is now fixed. Can you please take a look to see if this would resolve this issue for you?

Could this be an issue of different font and screen size settings?

I would have agreed with Erik, until I just now read about font sizes, html and em, e.g.:

In CSS, the em unit is a general unit for measuring lenghts, for example

page margins and padding around elements. You can use it both horizontally and vertically, and this shocks traditional typographers who always have used em exclusively for horizontal measurements. By extending the em unit to also work vertically, it has become a very powerful unit - so powerful that you seldom have to use other length units.

Always use ems to set font sizes. When used to specify font sizes, the

em unit refers to the font size of the parent element. So, in the example above, the font size of the h1 element is set to be two times the font size of the body element.

So: 0.95em actually specifies a smaller font size than the default. Now the question would be why it is still appears larger than that.

Is there anything wrong with not setting the font size at all? Presumably, there is a default font size, and that is reasonable, and users have set up their browsers such that this default looks well. Otherwise, if there is no good such default, then we should do the same as other prominent sites, e.g. copying the font size from Google's results or from Wikipedia's articles.

It could also be that the font size (or rather, how large a font appears) depends on the font style. We use Helvetica, which looks different from what "normal" text looks like; maybe Helvetica is by default just a bit larger than other fonts. That's a known effect for TT (typewriter) fonts; if one embeds a TT element in the page, it looks much too large by comparison, even if one doesn't change the default size. Who knows what benefits that has.

Comment (by barry.wardell):

Decreasing the font size will help, but will not solve the original problem which is that the layout of the table makes it too big to fit on a typical screen. How about something like this which uses much less space and still conveys the most important information: http://www.aei.mpg.de/~barry/testsuites.html As Erik suggested, this could be expanded by clicking/hovering to give more information on a specific case.
