 | chops off the bottoms of letters.
The page looks good in three other browsers, MSIE, FF, and OB1.
The culprit looks like the minus sign in "-5px".
When I edited this to:
and did a reload from cache, the page looked good.
Is Opera the only one that understands what a minus sign mean in the css
style definition?

Yes, it's because it's being used at the bottom of a table cell and
there is nothing below it before the next row.
Opera seems to be honoring the negative margin by bringing up the edge
of the table cell by 5px and clipping the paragraph. If it was a
normal block of elements then the text would simply overlap by
5px. The other browsers probably do nothing with any negative margin
that appears at the bottom of table cells or allow the content to
spill out, but that sort of defeats the point of tables. Not allowing
negative margin to have an effect at the edge of a table cell may be
better way of handling it rather than clipping.
There's nothing in that page that needs to mix paragraphs and tables
for layout, anyway.
