Hi all,

I sent this idea to the #bsddocs IRC channel a few days ago and no-one
there objected, but here you go. I'd like to know your opinions on the
documentation font being changed from serif to sans-serif. This would
only affect the web-based docs, not the ones being prepared for print.

An example of this is at
http://tau.devrandom.co.uk/issyl0/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ ,
and a diff of my very simple changes is at
http://tau.devrandom.co.uk/issyl0/docs_font.diff

In my opinion, it makes a hugely positive difference and modernises
the look of the documentation set.

Thanks,

Isabell.
