What's your favorite font size?

[MACDRIVE]

I have mine set at 24 in both Safari and Firefox. I know that seems extremely large to some of you (Chundles ) but I still read the newspaper without glasses just fine. I just like the large fonts for the screen. If some of you say the default size in Safari - what size is that?

Times 16 is the default on mine, I believe, but I sometimes use Apple+ when my eyes are tired. If you need 24 you need to find another hobby

No really, 24 works just fine for me. At that setting, your post and mine above it, fills the entire screen.

Where do you get the screen room for a size 24 font.

Add that to the list of things that can be seen from space.

LOL!!! What's the point in viewing 10 posts at once?

 

[MrSmith]

Well, there isn't much quality here so you have to go for quantity.

Time to get the eyes checked I think.

I don't know why people keep telling me that.

That's not a person, that's a house.

One command-plus up from default.
Dunno what the actual number is though.

 

[furious]

You must be kidding. With or without glasses?

 

[iBlue]

size 12-14 (without glasses, and I don't have the best vision either... but now I consider myself lucky )

I fell off my chair when I saw the screenshot. I thought someone had just thrown the monitor at my face.

Damn, you need telescopes for glasses man. Mine is set at 11pt however I am comfortable at 9pt on screen. 8pt is nice for print but borderline annoyingly small for some. When designing business cards I usually use 6-7pt type.

On MR, there doesn't seem to be a difference between 16 and 10.

Wow, we must be really bored if we're talking about font sizes.

 

[GoCubsGo]

24 may not be that large if you use a huge monitor (42"). I use 16 pt on screen and 8 pt on data reports 9 pt on audit reports.

 

[phungy]

Default font, Size 16.

 

[miniConvert]

lol @ this thread

My favourite font size (ahem) is 10.

 

[SpookTheHamster]

Default in Safari, but I can handle default -3 (the smallest size), the only reason I use default is because I think it looks better proportioned on my 17" screen. If I'm writing in NeoOffice I write in size 12, zoomed at 50-75%.

 

[iRachel]

I use the default size in Safari, and 12 pt. Times New Roman, though if I'm typing a long paper, I'll often magnify to 150% so that I don't strain my eyes.
