We have become aware that some visitors to the site do not have
such a good view of the poems as we do 
- in particular, some of the non-Latin accented characters may appear in a different size from the
surrounding text. If you have this problem, and wish to overcome it, you may find it useful to know
that the site is designed to be viewed on a screen set to 1024 x 768 and most text is in size +1 (14-point).
