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:

Any objections to dropping the general style sheet request, and adding a font-change request?

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?

S-M-L-XL

I meant both, but I don't know programming. It wasn't meant as an expansion on the current request, though.

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.

That'd rock.

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?

That's what I was thinking, DX.
