Yes, I use large fonts. The smallest font I can reasonably see is what IE calls "medium" and then only if it's bolded. I think the problem with this is what might be called an embarrassment of riches. That's what I get for buying top end equipment. I've posted before about the distortions I sometimes get in text where the text lines overlap at the font size I use. There is space between the lines of text only when I set the font at its smallest setting, which I can't read without the magnifier feature. Fortunately, that doesn't happen on too many sites. SI accommodates my display resolution just fine. It is annoying, though, to have so much display area and use so little of it. I have a another window open to the Post. This is what it looks like on my screen: <<In the summer of 1996, George Stephanopou went to ABC's Washington bureau to tell the producers of "This Week" that the author of a book slamming >> The URL for that is washingtonpost.com . I'll bet your column is wide enough to fit all of "Stephanopoulos." Sometimes it's so narrow that it truncates "Washington." LOL. All that display area and I'm stuck reading a column that's an inch wide. The moral of the story is that the latest and coolest equipment isn't always the most serviceable. Sure is gorgeous, though.
