6e1e1462dd Web site colours: swap :link and :visited.
It's conventional for :visited to be the darker shade.

0b66884f7f Reduce horizontal scrolling in Web page.
Playing with Firefox's "Responsive Design Mode" made it clear to me
that Bedstead's Web page was not very mobile-friendly, especially in
the way that the title runs off the end of a reasonable-sized vertical
screen.  A simple CSS rule requests downscaling of images to the width
of the screen, which helps a lot.

75bd5aa376 Switch Bedstead Web page to dark-on-light.
I recently saw Bedstead featured on a collection of programming fonts
and noticed that it was much prettier there than on its own Web page.
That's clearly wrong, and I think displaying it in a light colour on a
dark background (and with less than maximum contrast) helped.  The new
colours are based on my memory of the old Philips green-screen monitor
currently connected to my Beeb (because I'm too lazy to get out of bed
and check it).

b3b9184bed Extract @font-face rules into their own CSS file.
This seems sensible, since the @font-face rules should be grneric to all 
uses of Bedstead in CSS.

0c31e0ef86 Set list-style-type in CSS.
It was obviously wrong that the <ul> on the Bedstead Web page had 
circular bullets.  The current CSS Lists and Counters working draft, 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/WD-css-lists-3-20140320/>, allows for setting 
the bullet to a string, and Firefox 54 supports this, so use it in the 
CSS for Bedstead's Web page.

6062313421 Comprehensive rework of widths. Now there are six.
The names of the widths now track those in the OpenType 'OS/2' table, so 
the former condensed and semicondensed are now ultra-condensed and 
extra-condensed, and there are new condensed and semi-condensed widths 
to fill the gaps.  Also, the fonts are named more consistently with 
Adobe's practice: "Bedstead Semi Condensed" and so forth.

The new Bedstead Condensed makes a pretty decent terminal font, which is 
a nice side-effect.

1c39b2bbd1 CSS: Add font-synthesis: none.
Otherwise, Firefox synthesises Bedstead Bold when I use <h2>.

7f184003e7 CSS: use "normal" rather than explicitly disabling "palt".
This makes it clearer that the whole of font-feature-settings is
overridden.

bb3d8b7cbe Put the whole Web page into Bedstead.
With "palt" enabled, it looks fairly good.
