My copies aren't at hand.  Those sources are set in a serif font?  
Times or similar?

Web authorities claim that sans-serif is better for a small display.  
If the style tag in MediaWiki.Mod doesn't specify the font-family, 
Wikimedia will produce a monospaced text.  To avoid that I think of 
"font-family: varispaced" but no such thing in the CSS spec.   The 
closest choices are serif and sans-serif.  Rather than impose one of 
these I can set "font-family: serif, sans-serif".  Is there a better 
answer?

Thanks,               ... Lyall E.
