Well, hard to say... they certainly look a bit rounder, which was probably what was off in the previous version, but now they are indeed a little large in comparison with the other fonts. In the end I think I liked the smaller version a little better, but that's just my opinion of course. It's probably nearly impossible to get this exactly right as long as people are looking at course anti-aliased LCD displays, but I suppose that's what the current style-sheet is aimed at (you probably have a different one for @media=print, I didn't check). I've also just discovered that I find the 'text-size: Large' version less tense on the eyes - I must be getting old... One thing that's a bit annoying with the Large version is that if you give the table (Table 9-27. Date/Time Functions for example, in the page you linked above) enough space that the text in the examples/results doesn't wrap too much, that the lines of normal text get so long that they're no longer easy to read... I'm not sure what to do about that, but I get the feeling that it's not necessary to put all 5 columns (Function, Return Type, Description, Example & Result) next to each other on the same row. That definitely looks a bit cramped, and it's a lot of information to take in all at once. Possibly either the description or the example could be moved above or below the function definition? Those examples could also do with a different styling to set them apart from the description (maybe a slightly less white background colour?).
