Is this with the default css generated by rst2html, or with the
'default.css' that we have in the doc directory.

You have to run it as:
rst2html --stylesheet=default.css index.txt index.html

It has issues, but without the --stylesheet flag, it looks a pretty good
deal worse.

I'm a big fan of "Andale Mono" myself.

I'd be fine with the change. I see you probably are using the real
stylesheet or you wouldn't have seen "Time New Roman".

This was a stylesheet I copied from someone else, and neither of us are
CSS gurus. So feel free to make improvements.
