The font displays a bit smaller than on the live site using Safari 5.0.2, but it seems to make some of the
documentationeasier to read - especially when there's lots of monospaced text in it. With the smaller size the code
alsodoesn't catch the eye as much, of course.
One thing I noticed is that the italic version of the lower-case 'e' looks a little smeared along the horizontal line
insidethe curl. For example in: http://magnus.webdev.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/functions-aggregate.html
In Firefox 4b6 the monospace text looks a bit compressed at the top, like something heavy has been lying on it for too
long.Not sure how to describe it, but the top half of the font seems smaller than it should be.
I attached some small screen-shots of those "problems" so that you can judge yourself.
Good work on how the documentation looks as of late btw, they're a pleasure to read. Even more so than before.

Screwing up is an excellent way to attach something to the ceiling.
