The reason I never took fvwm seriously is it defaults to tiny fonts I
can't read, and because I can't read them, I can't do the necessary
stuff to make them better in order to do the config I need, like
getting rid of those stupid break off menus.

As a guy who's lucky to get 20/40 wearing my best glasses, I really
appreciate software that starts with a big font and lets us reduce,
rather than starting with a font only 20/15 can read.
