Suggestion: Slightly reduce font size and paragraph spacing for new Debian www



Hi debian-www team,

First of all congratulations on the launch of the new website; it must
have been an enormous and challenging task to push through!

I have two suggestions that greatly improve readability for me:
  Reduce font size by 1 or 2 sizes.
  Reduce paragraph spacing.


By default, I think the normal text font size used for paragraphs is
just a little too large, even by modern 2010/2011 "web startup" era
font sizes. Most of the debian pages are text heavy, (all of which is
good documentation), and I find the new larger font size makes it hard
to read and scan through.

Try zooming out once of twice in your favourite browser to see how
easier it is to read. (Other website default sizes are OK in my
browser)

Closely related is the large paragraph spacing, which can make all the
text appear to be floating in seas of whitespace out on their own. If
it were reduced it would be easier to visually see which paragraphs
are part of the same section.


Otherwise, the website is a good improvement, so thank you all for
your hard work,

Cheers,
-- Joe
