I think I found the problem.  I sit a few feet away from a 19" monitor, and=

have my minimum font size set larger than normal to compensate for sites th=

use teeny typefaces.  When I loaded the new www.freebsd.org with that minim=

size decreased a few points, it looked fine.

Try it on your own: visit the site and increase the font size a bit, and se=
e=20
if it doesn't resemble my screenshot.  And it still renders as a a narrow=20
(maybe 50% of window width) column centered horizontally.  That is, it=20
doesn't reflow at all.  Widen your browser window and the little column sta=
ys=20
centered in the middle of huge white tracts.  Make it narrower and watch as=

the horizontal scroll bars pop into play.

I still think the design generally looks fine, but the implementation isn't=
 so=20
hot.  I'll see if I can find time to hack on it this weekend.
