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.
