Hi, folks.

I've been gradually converting my ~/src directory full of tarballs I've found interesting enough to download to a ~/repos/ directory containing bare git repositories of the projects. I was thinking it might be worth my while to set up gitweb so I can peruse my collection of projects.

I noticed myself squinting, on my 1400x1050 laptop screen, at the 10 and 12-*pixel* font settings gitweb's CSS specifies before thinking to myself that I should bring this to the list's attention.

I'm no CSS guru, or I'd just provide a patch. It seems that *all* the measurements specified in the CSS file are in pixels, not ems or percentages. There's got to be a better way. I can't be the only person who would rather use my nice screen to render attractive, readable fonts rather than to render the smallest possible fonts?
