I fixed hivu.css to strike some middle ground
between screen and print fonts.
 
The recommendation for Safari Preferences/Appearence
fonts size is now 13.
 
The DejaVu (Vera) fonts have smaller line height to char size ratio.
This might explain why the MoinMoin developers, possibly
coming from Open Source world, set the style line height 
so large in the theme.

Subject: Re: [Jbeta] Unicode and Box Drawing font for Mac


Oleg,

    This font information is great.
    The only feature that does not work perfectly for me
is still the JWiki. Even JWiki box drawing is MUCH improved
in Safari now. The ugly horizontal misalignment is now gone,
and the slight vertical misalignment that remains is very
regular and does not detract from the readability. By
vertical misalignment I mean there is a vertical gap between
the box characters in JWiki. OTOH when I use your original
http://openj.sourceforge.net/wiki/common/hivu.css the gap is
eliminated in the JWiki. The font names have NOT been
changed to add DejaVu Sans Mono in this .css file. Would
adding DejaVu Sans Mono make the <pre> and <tt> text even
more appealing? If so how could it be added, please?

h1, h2, h3, h4 { color: #666; }

tt, pre, textarea {
   font-family: Courier New, Monaco, Courier, monospace;
}

tt {
   font-size: 1em;
}

pre, textarea {
   font-size: 0.9em;
   line-height: 1.1em;
}
