FWIW, presbyopia doesn't make it difficult to read things that are distant. What does that is myopia. I've had myopia since I was a kid. There is just a limit to how much we can cram onto a slide, and it's actually really difficult to know what that limit is when you are _preparing_ the slides.
I suspect there is standards work to be done here. E.g., is it the case that the relative size of the screen when seen from the back of small rooms is the same as from the back of large rooms? If not, can we fix? Can we give people a suggestion as to what size fonts will be legible to a person with corrected vision from the back of the room in the worst case? I think this would have to be part of the mtgvenue work.
I say this slightly tongue-in-cheek, but it's a real problem that I really had to think about when preparing my slides. I was not able to come up with a definite answer. I don't know how well I did, to be honest, but I did increase the font size above the default, which seemed pretty eye-chart-ish to me.

Hi, Scott,"Does not scale" ;-)I see that several of us are griping in this thread, which is what one would expect, given the nature of this mailing list.I'm not hearing people saying, "I never have problems, must be you", which I interpret as the visual equivalent of "if the music is too loud, you're too old".So, I'll probably bring this up on the working group chairs mailing list, for their discussion and possible action.Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts.SpencerSpencer
