Re: [gentoo-dev] A polite suggestion for LaserJet users

[Simeon Walker]

Yes, I have to agree with you here. I use Mozilla and all the fonts on
the website are too small, particularly the fixed with fonts.

To get a decent printout I had to disable colours and document specified
fonts in Mozilla. That was just about enough to make the printout readable.

The website could use a media=print css which disables menus not required
when printing documentation and ensures that all colours are black or white.

Simeon
