Okay I would be intrested to know what size fonts most people use in say there email or word processor as I am wondering if we are the only people that do not have trouble reading & Im the other side of 50 now so eyes are not quite what they once were.
I ask because its a combination of resolution & screen size that determines actual font size currently round a friends his sytem resolution is 1440x900 on I am guessing 17" maybe 19" monitor its not big. Neither of us has any trouble reading in game fonts in desktop mode at well over arms length as in standing over shoulder of. Also quite readable if shunt view to 50" plasma & play from where watch the TV from.

Using aerial as its a common font though I dont use it size 8 seems to equate to about in game font size.
For mails word processing etc common size I use equates to about areial 9 or 10
Size does vary a bit from font to font which is why I say use aerial but what do you guys use I think 12 is big anything greater is massive & makes reading harder as takes longer to scan a line.
Not used 800x600 full screen for a long time & it wont run on his computer but remember that was quite hard to read, not due to size but due to poor quality of the display.
