I have vision problems and the font sizes in the Legacy web pages have *never* been a problem for me.
In the past I have viewed many other web pages that I've immediately left because the backgrounds were too "busy", the colors were not contrasty enough or the fonts were too small... However, once I learned about the ctrl-scroll and zoom options to change the size of the fonts on the web pages, the fonts were never an issue again on any web page. And when the webpage is just plain not readable because of the busy backgrounds, bad color choices, etc, I go right to Options in my browser and select the accessibility options. It it's something I want to read badly enough.... After my eye surgery, I did need to have the accessibility options set all the time. A little frustrating because I did miss some well done design, but the important thing was that I could *read* the webpages, even when they were designed poorly. However some websites are so poorly designed that not even the accessibility options in the browser will help - not so with the webpages created in Legacy - they all work just fine for those with bad eyesight if the person just simply knows how to use their browser's accessibility options. I'm quickly learning that the majority of web designers have 20/20 vision and don't know what it's like for the rest of us (and maybe don't even care) so I need to do something from *my* end to make the pages work. What is beautiful to some is awful to others and what is awful to some looks just fine to another group. Beauty in a webpage is a very subjective thing. I'm grateful that I can at least change the browser when something doesn't quite work for me. Sadly I can't do the same thing when I can't read a magazine or newspaper article in print! For those of you who know a little or a lot about web design, I would strongly recommend that you study the articles at www.webaim.org to learn how to get your message across to more people than you are now.....
