Font-size scaling issue

Lately (as in the last week or two approximately), there appears to have cropped up some sort of 'bug' or error with the Darkvector skin, wherein the font-size on many of the text elements is noticeably smaller than it is when the default (i.e. Vector) skin is in effect. For example, in the Recent Changes list, one can easily see the difference in font-size for the lines, between the two skins (i.e. Vector vs Darkvector version); where Vector will use a 14px font-size but Darkvector incorrectly displays a 12.25px font-size.

To the best of my ability, I have attempted to track down the problem as far as being somewhere in the .mw-body-content CSS class (I think??), where – as far as I can tell – the scaling factor, 0.875(*1em) is somehow being applied twice (i.e. 0.875*0.875 = 0.875²) on the font-size, for whatever reason, thus causing it to scale incorrectly. I am however unable to figure out how or why that is the case, where it comes from, or how to go about fixing it. Or is this just something that is local for me, and no-one else is experiencing this? :O

If someone (far) more knowledgeable in these matters than I could help me to figure out what and where the problem is – or better yet: how to fix it – that would be much appreciated! :)
