I don't like the font-width on 
http://users.on.net/~lncoshea/carey/breezy.jpg , it's too narrow, and 
thus it not relaxing for my eyes. I don't know why the font of 
http://users.on.net/~lncoshea/carey/hoary.jpg was changed, but I was 
perfectly happy with it.

I have no clue what fonts are used or what sizes they default to. My 
criticism is not about sizes - I'm not aware of the differences. I am, 
however, annoyed by the narrow font

Although serif-fonts on a monitor, now we've got anti-aliasing, are not 
as horrible as in earlier days, this sounds sensible to me.

Thanks,
