From a thread just a couple below this one: "We already have plans to make the index page subject line text less bold and the message text a font/size that is easier to read."

THEY ARE GOING TO CHANGE IT. Maybe everyone could just stop asking/demanding? It's going to get done. If you need to just not visit the site until it's done, then maybe that's the best option for you.

If you read between the lines, it is not really the font size that is bothering folk but the font choice and leading that makes the text hard to read.

People may say it is the font size because they do not know much about type. And if you increase the screen size as you suggest, the same clarity remains--but it is just bigger.

Exactly, the choice of a sans-serif font for all the text was misguided, IMO. While there will always be different opinions, it's pretty well established that a font with serifs, like Times New Roman, is much easier to read for paragraphs.

Also, the font used here is particularly bad on the front page because it's so thick/bold.

Hopefully feedback is incorporated into any changes.
