All we know is "my eyes are not really good", whatever that means. We have no idea what your screen size is, what your resolution is, or what the distance between eyes and screen is. IOW, the physical size presented to you is utterly absent. Thus there is no basis for us to determine whether what you see would be legible outside of your personal viewspace. >> [1] here, ~42.25% the size of text that would likely be optimal only if black >> on white, closer to 20% of optimal size with the low contrast level actually used > really? Really! Here is your image as presented to me, placed at its intrinsic size into the context of what is presented to me here by my display. In order to actually be presented with what is presented to my eyes, one must view these images with adequate context reproduced locally. At a minimum, such context requires viewing the following images such that a ruler can be put on the display screen to measure the incorporated sizing blocks at exactly the widths indicated. Each needs to be 1" wide (aka 25.4mm) neither more, nor less. http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Fedora/fedoget1412-1440-144.jpg (144 DPI) http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Fedora/fedoget1412-2048-120.jpg (120 DPI) What I was actually looking at while composing my previous thread message, and this, more closely approximates the latter, in that this screen's density is a direct match, while the former is from a 20% higher density screen. Yet higher density screens are fairly common now. Those using them and not applying defensive measures (e.g. zoom, disabled site styles, minimum font size) can be expected to be experiencing even poorer legibility on loading getfedora.org. To provide yourself context very roughly similar to that used to make those captures, load http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/sc-fedoget1412.html into a Gecko or KHTML web browser. If your screen density isn't a match to either of those used to make those images, you still won't be presented with what is presented here. That's because the size of a pixel depends on screen density, which is *a* reason why CSS should never size text or text containers in px, as getfedora.org and most of the rest of the web are doing. As to the sizes I wrote previously, 42.25% was calculated as follows: Browser optimal (aka default, as personalized) size: 20px nominal 12pt physical Text size produced by page CSS on the list items in the bottom columns: 13px nominal 7.8pt physical *Physical* relationship between actual default *size* and actual text *size*: 7.8^2 / 12^2 = .4225 So, yes, really! -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
