    I can feel that small size font is cool design element, however I would prefer at least 12px font.

    I think the font should be at least 12pt right now. Is your web browser set to display the fonts at "normal" size?

    Speaking of readability, I'd like to darken the fonts. My original fear was that using a black font would look too halloween-ish with all the orange around, but that's probably not the greatest reason to sacrifice readability. (Plus, this month, it shouldn't matter either way. ;-))

    I'll see what I can do during the next site update. (Which might come soon; there's a product update around the corner!)

    I'm using Opera browser, and have selected minimum font size as 10, because some parts of the website can use that well.

    I checked your stylesheet and saw that all the font sizes are put in em, so it might be depending of my minimum font of browser.

    em dosen't display every font size well. Try changing them to pt.

    The problem with specifying fonts in pt is that it "locks" the font size, so the user can't increase or decrease the font size in their browser.

    Only for IE I think, I know not for FireFox. I set my web-site to PT just so the fonts could not be changed, then found out that doesn't affect FireFox, or Mozila.

    I'm not to sure about Vista, since it is so much like FireFox, it may not affect it either. ??.

    Ah, that's good news. I'll look back into it, but as long as IE is affected, I don't think it's much of an option for me.

    Ofcourse I could also add personal stylesheet with content like this:

    #content {
   font-size: 12px !important;
}
