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.

Any objections to dropping the general style sheet request, and adding a font-change request?
That'd rock.

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

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Two point differences.
Medium as the current size?

That's what I was thinking, DX.

Verdana should still be a choice.

Sorry -- "no change" is implicit.
In my head. I wasn't thinking loudly enough for my fingers to hear.

You know, I'm sorry but if I can't get the board with XXL purple Comic Sans text on a pink background, I'm going to have to quit buffistas.
You people never meet my needs!!!
