Works fine here, both epiphany and firefox show your huge fonts fine.
Can you give more details about your system configuration?

Just have another crash during browsing on 24ways site.
Does Arch Devs report it to Intel or I need to make the report myself ?

thx

This was fixed some time ago in upstream, commit 68a5ad497b557ab9e8bff301098ea78c84d385a2.
The new xf86-video-intel in testing seems to have the problem fixed.
Anyway, the attached patch for that commit works for me with the current driver version.
