I would change only one thins - remove explicit font hinting from HTML code:
---cut---
<font face="helvetica, arial, sans-serif" size="+2">
Welcome to The NetBSD Project
</font><br>
---cut---
Don't know as for others, but for me Helvetica without anti-aliasing looks
really ugly in comparison to TTF Arial or Verdana fonts.
ps: Sure i could hack my local settings like adding Helvetica->Verdana
substitution and so on, but i'm booring doing this. And IMHO netbsd.org could
be viewed without any problems with "default" font as user told.
