Clearing the cache didn't help.
This is firefox 33.0 on XP.

I've just updated a windows 8.1 system.
Firefox 32.0.1 and 32.0.3 are fine, but 33.0 is broken.
As well as having the whitespace collapsed, the 'code' is now displayed in =
a variable
width font.

I'm not going to try firefox 33.0 on my Linux box - I need one working
version of viewvc :-)
