Subtle changes, bugs and feedback

The new style is pretty bad... I assumed it was a bug/mistake? The pre-school text and over-generous spacing is staying?

As the default, yes.

Interesting, I would have thought this true when there wasn't system wide anti-aliasing, but now there is on most computers, I would think serif was king again.

Anyway, proven wrong. Sorry for any inconvenience.

You're right on print... there's so much empirical evidence on that it's not even up for debate.

Can there be options like gmail? Cosy, compact etc?

Actually, now that I've obliterated all hard-coded font sizes... yes.

It shouldn't be too hard for me to add some preference switch somewhere to affect the font size.

I imagine it would be:
65%
75%
85%
100%

Does anyone want the text larger?
