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

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.
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 :)
