metagripe, the font you are using is too thin, top 10% of hard to read websites.

If you'd link to a screenshot of what you see, that would be helpful.

I have noticed the font renders thinner on Windows.

I plan to look at the design over the winter: some things could definitely be improved.

BTW the article is wonderful, thank you for making it. I have an Arty board but I will be running through it in Verilator.

Thank you. I can't promise to get to the new design until early 2023 as I have many hardware designs I want to finish this year.

Once you've got a design working in Verilator, I strongly recommend running it on an actual board if you can: nothing beats the feeling of running on hardware :)
