I'll probably switch to Verdana.  I was just copying the font used
used on Firefox's FAQ page.

Which font is too small -- the one in the main text body, or in 
other locations?

The skin is definitely still a work in progress, and I'm still working
out the overall link styles.

Agreed, but this seems to be heavily dependent on the the font size
so I'm trying to get that nailed down first.

I found the long sequences of underlines to be a bit overwhelming
in the sidebar -- "too much ink".  So, I took them out -- we can
still work on alternate renderings, however.
