Yahoo Chess w/ IE vs Firefox what is Wrong?

[Astalavista]

here is what yahoo chess looks like using Internet Explorer

using Microsoft Java

here is a picture of FireFox or Opera

using Sun Java look at the text it is so tiny compared to the picture above.

What is the problem w/ Sun Java???

its not a problem with sunjava, its microsoft's VM in the way that they changed so much to make certain things different or incompatible. yahoo games is probably coded using microsoft's changes in java, which is bad since only IE users using the MS VM can see it normally like you noticed. just know that it's nto suns problem, its yahoo's and microsofts problem for not coding to standard java which is in theory the same on all platforms.
