>Description:
The current web site renders very badly:
- Text sizes are, in general, far too large.
- Line spacing is too small for text (texts overlap).
- Boxes are too small for text (text overflows).
- Layout leaves far too large margins. In the default case,
up to 40% of the page is left margin, and the text scrolls
off beyond the right margin.
- PR pages (including, presumably, this one) are in ridiculously large text.
The overall impression is very negative, particularly in
comparison with other BSD project web sites. As a result, I'm
categorizing this PR as "critical" and "high priority".
>How-To-Repeat:
Using firefox, view:
http://www.freebsd.org/
http://www.netbsd.org/
http://www.openbsd.org/
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=91536
Compare the results with
http://www.lemis.com/grog/Photos-20060109.html. If they're
not the same, this may help explain the problem.
>Fix:
Removing font size specifics from the CSS style sheets might
be a start. Also remove margin specifications unless
absolutely necessary.
