I'd like to ping the parties involved, especially on the fixed-width
#container. This bites especially if you're running your screen rotated
and have a screen-width of physical 768px minus what the browser (Opera)
and wm claim as margins. Note 75% won't be sufficient for this (my) setup, I
experimented and need at least 78%, I think I'm using a font-size of 14pt,
but I'm unsure if this is overriden by CSS or scaled.
Somebody already suggested aiming for high values like 95%, which I strongly second.
BTW, does somebody know why scaling throught the Large/Small-links
doesn't work in Opera, as does neither choosing the style in View->Style?
