I think fonts are too small or hard to read, as discussed on IRC.
Using the longer phrase I could find that fits in 1 line from the start page ("Deep thoughts discussions such as the development of licenses, as well as other copy-left/right related topics, psychology, philosophical subjects" which is 147 glyphs wide, and someone claims that Research has shown that the ideal line length is about 65 characters. Anywhere between 45 and 85 is generally seen as acceptable, in the context of a roman alphabet. I have not (yet) read that paper but I feel that it's right: when I program, I hate lines longer than 80, and even 80 seems too wide to me (but 80 minus line numbers is better)) I produced this [Image: me5.png][Image: me5.png].

The font used in the terminal is "*.font: xft:Source Code Pro:style=Light:size=10", which was chosen to allow me to:

* split my screen vertically
* while still having more than 70 glyphs per line (including some levels of indentation)
* still be readable comfortably (no need to move closer to screen nor to force eye focus)
* but is still logical text, relatively easy to predict (it's for coding)

Other shots taken by others:

As can be seen, even if mine is bigger than others, even others can display less glyphs per line.
