The bullets are outdented:

I'm talking relative size, not absolute size. The font appears
smaller than most other sites. If I increase it in my preferences,
then all other sites appear too big. However I think I found the
reason why. The 1em is fine, but it gets shrunk by a wrapper <div>
via line 133 of https://static.opensuse.org/themes/bento/css/base.css:

.ui-oo-content-wrapper, .content-wrapper{font-size:0.8em;}

If I disable that then everything looks the same size as other sites.
