Unfortunately, the page doesn't behave very well when you display it in a small browser window.
I was going to wait and see what the consensus was on the menu size, but this seems like a deal breaker, so I've shrunk them back down.
The problem is not the size of the menu, it is the fact that the page doesn't _scale_. I haven't looked at the HTML source code, but apparently the page requires a certain window width, and if the window doesn't have that, text will be missing. In my case, half the navigation is invisible in favor of about 2 centimeters of white space on the left margin. I really don't think that's optimal.
When you display the page with lynx(1), the new version has the navigation coming _after_ the text, at the bottom of the page (which is bad) [...].
I assume [the smaller fonts] will fix it.
No, they haven't. The problem is that the menu is on the _right_ hand-side now, a text-based browser will display the left column before the right, hence the navigation ends up being the last thing on the page. Which is not optimal. Peter
