Good point Seth........perhaps I should set them back. 
I personally don't use the su mode that often, being somewhat paranoid about it. 

The "ugly" fonts could be a reminder to those who are less paranoid about su though.

Maybe the font color should be red, or some color other than black?

Best regards.
