The currently website uses `px' to specify exact font sizes in relation to the
page layout. We expect users to use browsers scaling support or assistive
technology to make the page view bigger. Using `px' and scaling makes the page
*much* more readable than using "em" and font size changes. The latter can
suffer from improper layout and difficult to read enlarged text, while the
former results in a uniformly scaled website that is easy to scroll and read.

We don't plan to change this any time soon, but if you still have problems
reading the page I'd be more than happy to work with you on the problem e.g.
configuring your browser or other technology.

In the meantime I'm marking this resolved/wontfix.
