It's nice design, if you are on Windows and don't want to adjust the
text size.
I viewed the page under IE in Win2k. I tried to change the text size
(View->Text Size->Larger) and nothing happened.
I tried it under three browsers under Linux. On one (Konqueror in KDE
3) it was readable. Under two (Mozilla and Netscape) the font was too
small to read.
I agree that we need nice design. I'd also like to be able to read the
pages. :^)
For now I'll try to isolate the font settings into a separate css, to
make it easy for us to work with until we find the right choice.
