thanks for doing the move.

however i have a hard time reading the bugs with the new bugzilla due to
the font size. a bit of investigation reveals:

===http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi*===
<link href="skins/custom/global.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
===
===http://bugzilla.gnome.org/skins/custom/global.css===
body {
        font-family: "Bitstream Vera Sans", "Luxi Sans", "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", helvetica, verdana, arial, sans-serif;
        font-size: small;
[...]
===

is there any strong reason to not leave the default font size
the default font size? (could hardly believe so)

for me, this means i have to manually scale-up the font size everytime
i visit a bugzilla page (which happens quite often a day), and due
to the font-size stepping in firefox, i don't even end up at the usual
100% but somewhere beyond which gives me monster headers etc.

so, to restore readability at least for some users, can we please change
the body font size back to the usual 100%? this should in most cases be
accustomed to the best font size the user can operate at. and having good
readability for a tool like bugzilla is probably a gazillion times more
imporant than any aesthetic concern.
