August, It's been quite a while since I've looked at the font issue. The size is fine on my work and home computers in both classic and regular SI, so I presume it's an OS/browser issue. I seem to remember that Scott had published a font change some time back (2-3 months?) and due to complaints it was rolled back. (My memory is fuzzy here so don't hold me to that version of the facts :o) I'm happy to spend some time looking into this issue and others for the SI community, and I will work to make some nice improvements before this year is out. I would appreciate everyone's patience while I look into your comments. I know this is a delicate issue, because some of you have been requesting good ideas (or complaining about existing bad ones) for a long time. Please understand that I can't explain why things haven't been done to date, and I can't investigate/fix every issue at once. (I should note that every bug/issue reported is logged on our intranet.) However, I will look at everything and report my progress (maybe weekly, unless there is some sort of emergency) to one of the SI threads (this or ThinkTank, any opinions?). Thanks, August. -john

August, my font size on SI is reasonably large (estimate 16pt), so I am wondering what the issue is. I use IE which has a text size option under the 'view' tab. Mine is set to medium. I also have my display set to 1152 by 864 pixels (which is fairly small), but that is another method to increase the text size on SI. I guess my point is that you have some personal options to increase the text size. Cheers, Phil
