Exclamation the READABILITY of these forums

I am VERY pleased that the default font Doc John chose here is Trebuchet - for it has been determined thru studies to be the most easily read font - having more "space between the lines" of type than any other font.

However, the font size is only a "2" while we really need a "3".
This is one place where OBT was quickly responsive after the problem had been mentioned on forum feedback....

Being aware of how many patients here have various problems, including learning problems, short attention spans and more ... and vision problems of various kinds, who have difficulties with the tiring effort to read small font -- sometimes the actual INABILITY to read small font, I change my font to the larger size so my posts are more likely to be read...

I ALSO keep my writing targeted/adapted for the web -- I use brief paragraphs to increase readability, comprehension and retention. The need for this type of writing/formatting is well established in a number of studies.

But still, establishing a larger sized default font would be helpful to many people - and, I might point out, after the OBT default was changed, there was not a single complaint.... But many expressions of excitement and gratitude.

- Teri
