Title: NOT Another Size Poll
Post by: R. C. on March 25, 2025, 07:02:22 AM

This is NOT "Which font..." or "Which point size..." is best...

For fiction, this poll is to gauge preference amongst this cohort.

Why? I am trying to talk myself into changing fonts. Of course, some fonts are easier on the eyes when larger. Others can be smaller but may not have a nice aesthetic.

The hive mind will have an opinion that I can factor into my decision.

To throw another wrinkle in there for you, not all fonts will appear to be the same size at the same point size.

That is, one font may be fine for a particular person at 12 pt but a different font at 12 pt may appear too small for that same person.

Do you specify a font size for eBooks?

I just let them default to the device preferences so it doesn't override whatever specifications the reader has their device set at with regard to their preferred body text size.
