Description
Hi!
While browsing the website documentation, e.g. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/type_traits/doc/html/boost_typetraits/background.html there are some issues when I use of Ctrl-+ or Ctrl-- in order to change the fontsize:
When pressing Ctrl-+, the number of characters per line is not adopted. Therefore some text portion exceed the right margin which forces me to scroll horizontally. That renders reading documentation rather impossible for the affected pages.
When pressing Ctrl--, content starts overlapping: links move over text, etc.
Probably a font-sizing method similar to http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/bioguest/css/font.html would be appreciated by others, too.

Viewing the page in IE8 in IE7 mode it seems fine. IIRC IE7 introduced 'full page zoom' instead of the older 'text zoom' and this behaviour was standard but they changed it for IE8 as it was unpopular. There is another issue since the site uses 'pt' for font size, which IE doesn't resize properly, but the IE8 page zoom works okay so I'm not going to fix that anytime soon.
