Are you folks building with "make STYLE=website html" ? That usually
gives me a pretty good representation of the web (although beware if
you use any browser specific settings to display websites in different
fonts. For example, on my desktop at home I run with postgresql.org at
133% size, which doesn't carry over when looking at locally built html
pages.

In any case, there is some additional info at
