Ny backups have now finished, I'll shut this machine down and go

In fact, it uses DejaVu at 16pt. And arguably the /. text is
slightly small, but I think the broweser here is slightly bigger
than on the other machine. Anyway, I _do_ change font sizes from
time to time. And fonts of hte same nominal size can differ in
perceived size. To quote wilipedia

I've now uploaded bison-deja16.png and toc-deja16.png to
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~ken/screenshots/
And I still think that most of the space after the navigation column
ought to be available for text (think of hte perl modules page in
BLFS, and also of the download links for resiserfsprogs,
particularly the http variant (two characters longer than the ftp) -
on my current window that link fits comfortably into one line.
There are several places where the max-width parameter was set to 800px.
I don't think I should remove that parameter completely because can be a
problem when the text viewed is too wide. Think of a book where the
line length is very long, say 8 inches with a normal (about 11 or 12 pt
font).
However I could change those values to font dependent units like em
(height of font) or ex (width of font). Right now I changed it to
100ex. That seems to do the right thing when I zoom.
