15% of the population is a significant chunk.

Include all us senior citizens with challenged vision and the percentage 
goes much higher.

I've a big quarrel with developers who seem to think that anyone who uses a 
computer must be 25 or so. Do they want to lose 40% of their potential 
users?

I think the fonts are far too small. I'm not a fan of the indent for the 
opcode name on the first line but otherwise I don't mind the colours too 
much.
