I'm seeing huge font size differences on the new layout of the mailing list web pages. Here's an example: http://myfreebsd.homeunix.net/newlist.png And for comparison, here is how other fixed-width fonts display (i.e., the <pre> tag: http://myfreebsd.homeunix.net/fixed_width.png I'm using Opera 8.5 on FreeBSD 4.11-stable. I'll grant you that configuring fonts in Opera is a real mess. I've tried adjusting my local preferences so that the mailing lists are more 'normal' but that results in other sites with fixed-width fonts being tiny and unreadable. This is with the mailing list archives and not the Mailman style pages. The bigger fonts are much easier to read but take a lot of scrolling to read the messages. Mozilla displays the same characteristics with the font sizes. The text mode browsers I've tried display the fonts correctly (presumably because they ignore CSS). Anyway, its good to see the site getting a face lift after so many years! Randy --
