Any objections to dropping the general style sheet request, and adding a font-change request?
I suggest a dropdown list of common Mac/PC fonts, plus the descriptors serif and sans-serif to cover whatever the computer's default is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I've said this before, and I apologize for repeating myself, but I definitely want to be able to change the font/font size. However, I agree with what Cass and others said in ita's link -- I'd use it and love it, but I don't think the board is "broken" as is.
Edit: X-post. This:

Would be fine with me.

LJ, by font/font size do you mean font and font size or font or font size? I.e. (that capitalisation looks wrong) -- are you definitely expanding on the specs in 9454?
For font size -- manual entry of font size? Directives such as "smaller," "much smaller"? %ages? What's the simplest metaphor for the people the least familiar with HTML?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

LJ, by font/font size do you mean font and font size or font or font size?
I meant both, but I don't know programming. It wasn't meant as an expansion on the current request, though.
For font size -- manual entry of font size? Directives such as "smaller," "much smaller"?
I think "very small", "small," average," etc., is probably easiest. In my possibly non-representative experience, the numeric point size needed for comfortable reading can vary from font to font and program to program, and percentages can be frustrating.

I love Jesse's suggestion.

How are these for 4 font choices:
- Times, Times New Roman, serif
- Arial, Helvetic, sans-serif
- Courier, Courier New, monospaced
- user entered (caveat entor)
And for sizes -- one point difference between S/M/L/XL? Or two?

Two point differences.
Medium as the current size?
