make key labels more legible
Increase font size for non-short key labels. This increases legibility.
Fixes #1094.
Please check with a variety of key labels to make sure that longer labels don't overflow the key shapes.
For the record, even with the current size, we do have some labels that overflow some keys. If this font size increase causes some more to overflow, as long as they're not commonly used labels, we should merge it nevertheless.
I'll have a closer look after some sleep.
Unfortunately, this makes ShiftTo #1 overflow 1u keys on the Atreus:
If it were things like S+C+A+Control/" overflowing, I'd be fine with that. But ShiftTo #N` overflowing is something I'd consider a blocker, I'm afraid.
Does 9.5px still seem to overflow on the Atreus? I think I don't have an easy way to preview it without the hardware. I might be willing to drop down to 9px, but that's starting to become almost as unreadable as 8px.
Could we use CSS to truncate at the shape boundary?

Hm... we might be able to do that. But we'll need tooltips for the keys then, otherwise things will get messy very fast.
9.5px looks better, but it still slightly overflows. We can fix that by moving the label a few pixels to the left, to reduce the margin there. I'll see if I can do something about that later today.
Key legend sizes and keyboard both size got tweaked since this was first proposed.
