At a guess, seriously broken HMTL in which a whole sequence of elements, that
require explicit termination, and no other elemnets closed to allow error
recovery to close them.  Such HTML is going to break any quality browser,
although you might try tag soup mode.

Actually, in this case they may be properly nested, but the content is
totally unreasonable, a sequence of <font size="2"> is nested more than
150 times within itself, with no text even at the bottom of the nest.

This is either a deliberate browser breaker, or someone has got a 
seriously broken authoring tool.  (There is the odd i and b thrown in
for good measure.
