This depends on how fussy you are.  In this image, the daemon's tail
overlaps a bullet point.

This font size looks small to me.  It depends on the resolution of
your screen.  But any web page that only works at specific font sizes
is broken.

Yes.  This is about an appropriate font size for my 1920x1200 laptop
display.  And it renders badly, but acceptably.  It good compared to
others on the site.  See
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=www/91539 both for a bug
report and an example of such bad rendering.  Look particularly at the
enormous font for fixed width font only, the scroll bar at the bottom,
the unnecessary margin at the left, and the overlapping text.
