I have considered removing the documentation from the download, in the interests of reducing the download size. That would resolve that problem <g>.

Apart from the joke, it would be nice to have a different distribution package for each OS/arch (using a natural packager for each is a plus; i.e., tar.gz for unixes :).

Thanks everyone for your feedback.  I sent Walter a new version that addresses some of the issues.  In particular the navigation font uses Vladimir's suggested colors and the wiki/translate stuff is adjusted to hopefully look better.

As Vladimir surmised the font sizes are relative, so they respect your system and browser font sizes.  This is supposed to be a "best practice" kind of thing but if a majority of folks have trouble then perhaps I can switch to fixed font sizes.

Thanks again for all the suggestions and the screenshots--they help a lot.

	No, font sizes should be relative. But they should be set so that
the main body of text is at 100%, no more no less.

I'm glad you mentioned this because I CCed you.  I went back and looked at it, and sure enough my e-mail failed to include the all-important attachment.  I resent.

I have written an utility to convert D documentation to compiled HTML help (.chm), which supports native navigation, search and an index:

	The google translate bar is still there, still appearing after some
time and causing the page to jump down, still wasting valuable
screen real estate and still refusing to stay turned off...
