One of the things that Ginger and I discussed was trying to make the site more read-able to those of us who can no longer lie and claim 29 as our age any more. Basically, a Readers' Digest Easy-Read version for NEIP.
I was busy trying to figure out how to reverse the text color for the believer's forum and I accidentally wandered into how to change the font and size of the text. I tinkered with it a bit on a testing ground and found a way to raise most of the visible text by 1 pt. It's surprising how much easier that is on the eyes, but it's definitely different.
I believe I have mentioned before that I am still blessed with 20/20 or better vision well into my 40s, for which I am thankful. The "downside" of that for me is that I can't readily judge what works well for those who aren't as fortunate as I with their vision. So I'm not really sure if I'm chasing a rabbit down a hole or not.
So, what I'd like to know is whether, ceteris paribus people would like to have a slightly larger typeface on posts. There is no particular "loss" with this, because everything else should still work the same, but at the same time people can get fatigued trying to read larger fonts, too, and some people may just be comfortable with what they have and may not want a change. To that end, I'm polling people here to see what they think. If you'd like, I can provide a sample for comparison, but the skin itself will be dramatically different from what you're used to; you'll have to focus solely on the typeface and disregard any colors or anything like that.
