On: Req – An HTTP Scripting Language

Sidenote: The font is very small on this site.

Was going to say. 12px is way too tiny.

On my Mac in FF, HN is 9pt, which ends up being 12px, but it does look larger than the Req site... Oh browsers...

Verdana (which is what HN uses at least for me) is a much wider font, though.

The website uses Fira Sans, which is very condensed (as much as you can without having to stretch the characters, in fact).

You can see that the code snippets on the website "look" much larger even though they're also 12px, since they are set in Courier New.
