Minimum font-size recommendations: here and elsewhere are both good

I assume that the profoundly blind, using text-to-speech AT, won't care about this, but users with weak vision (and I just might be talking about visitors over about 40) would probably find accessibilty enhanced if they didn't need to squint and strain so much to tell "NL" from "NZ" apart. Is this an appropriate place to address this? Or am I better off pursuing my little crusade at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Discographies/style]]? Thanks for the good work here. <i>&mdash;&nbsp;[[User:JohnFromPinckney|JohnFromPinckney]] ([[User talk:JohnFromPinckney|talk]])</i> 11:18, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
:It's certainly an accessibility issue and the Accessibility Manual of Style should give guidance. The place would be at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Accessibility/Manual of Style draft#Text]], but it's not written yet. There is a wide variety of browsers, screen sizes, and resolutions, so the problem is not the same for everyone. Personally I now have difficulty reading text on a 17" full-HD laptop without using the browser zoom, so I sympathise. I actually think that article text needs to be rendered at close to 100% as a minimum (since even 85% may be difficult for some), but it may be necessary to compromise in some cases, and 85% may be sensible target minimum for now. There's no reason why you shouldn't raise the issue with any project: I'm sure you'll be able to count on the members of WikiProject Accessibility to also discuss it and provide useful advice. --[[User:RexxS|RexxS]] ([[User talk:RexxS|talk]]) 19:20, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
