Guest guest Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 I like the large print other wise I have to enlarge it before I can comfortably read it. I am having cataract surgery that hopefully will make that not necessary. Even if in the future I don't need the large print I think others will utilize the large print. I have not seen it on this site but have encountered it on other sites. Certain color combinations make it so that I have to edit it to read, regardless of size. Black and blue on white or light background are best for me. Betty LARGE PRINT Some of our folks on here write in large script because it is hard for them to see, they are not yelling just making it easier on them and some of our other friends (me too)... ) Moderator Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 I understand that. I have thought about making my type larger so it would be easier on those folks. When the print size gets to be more than an inch tall, the glare from the screen hurts my eyes. I don't know why. It just does.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I agree with Willow. When too large, it is difficult to read. The size that willow is displaying is about the smallest I can read comfortably. I've also noticed that the bold print is very difficult to read. Toni Re: LARGE PRINT I understand that.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Again, Here is my input. Too big is as bad for me as too small. Funny but I can read it better if it is bold as lighter type lacks contrast. Willow's type below is good for me. I have never even thought about large print being considered as shouting. But when it is all caps, I do get that feeling. Betty Re: LARGE PRINT >I understand that. I have thought about making my type > larger so it would be easier on those folks.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I thought that when typing the normal typeface is suppose to be 12 or 14. I don't mind typing bigger, especially if it helps someone see better/read better. Granada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I believe 10 is the standard. 12 or 14 is large. Also the type makes a difference. This is Times New Roman. I read, perhaps on this site, that Arial this one is easier to read. Betty Re: LARGE PRINT I thought that when typing the normal typeface is suppose to be 12 or 14.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 You are right this is what I found, that manual typewriters(I couldn't believe they actually still sell manual typewriters) have a pitch of 10, 12 and 15 but standard is 10 and even that for me, I think that is small. I think I only remembered the 12 cause it is in the middle. LOL and this talk makes me feel old. We only had one computer when I was in high school, goes to show how much technology has changed in the last 22 years. LOL ok, this is confusing for me Pica, 1. a 12-point type of a size between small pica and English. 2. the depth of this type size as a unit of linear measurement for type, pages containing type, etc.; one sixth of an inch. 3. a 12-point type, widely used for typewriters, having 10 characters to the inch. sorry, just nosy, i learn something new every day. I believe 10 is the standard. 12 or 14 is large. Also the type makes a difference. This is Times New Roman. I read, perhaps on this site, that Arial this one is easier to read. Betty ..
