New Forrest site fonts too small

Team

Good to see new material on the Forrest site, but some of the font sizes turn out almost illegible (on my machine anyway - Win2k, 1024 x 768 display, IE6.0)

Examples from http://forrest.apache.org/docs/upgrading_06.html:

<pre class="code">Changes from V1.2 to V1.3

<div class="menuitem">
<a href="../docs/skin-package.html">Skin Packages</a>

Projects that use <span class="codefrag">forrest.antproxy.xml</span> via

<span class="footnote"><a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/">

I haven't looked at the .css file, but I think fonts sizes need to move up a touch...

Yup, too small. I've tried bumping the font size in the browser and it
doesn't help.

I have hieroglyphics for most of the text.

I've seen this problem before, here's what we suggest
(that is if the fontsize.js cannot be abandoned at all).
