When I post my opinions in the font that best suits my severe vision problems
Using larger fonts isn't going to really help there. You know what you wrote, and what everyone else writes will be in smaller fonts.

Just about every web browser available lets you override the default settings for font size, to make it easier for people with vision problems to increase the size to their own preference.

Thanks.

I created this response on Wordpad... using 20 Bold... SO I CAN SEE WHAT I'M DOING !!! Then I copied it and am now transferring it here, presuming it will now appear in a size that will please your ridiculously critical demands... without subjecting you to the outrageous pain and agony you pretend you must endure if you even happen to see my normal posts !!!

I can only work on my PC by selecting View - Text Size - Largest. At that size I am just barely able to read what's on the screen if I pull my face up close to the monitor.

However, when I post my own messages I need to push back away from the screen so I can use the keyboard. Then the entire screen become blurred... unless I use a larger font. Posting my own text is a real pain in the arse because of the back and forth positioning that is mandatory to read and then type, read and type, etc.

I'm stuck in a huge clutzy wheelchair due to a big bunch of physical limitations. My back is broken, both legs are paralyzed and my left arm is partially paralyzed, plus my near blindness... hence to some I would be considered "worthless"... kinda sorta like Terri Schiavo.

But I support myself and my medical needs by successfully playing the stock market... an enterprize which really pisses off those who would like to brand me as being a "useless eater"!!! Here's hoping your delicate eyeballs have not been assulted !!!

Regarding your comment: "When I post my opinions in the font that best suits my severe vision problems -- Using larger fonts isn't going to really help there. You know what you wrote, and what everyone else writes will be in smaller fonts." -- When I type a response, then press Preview... it's STILL NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO READ WHEN MY WHEELCHAIR IS IN MY TYPING POSITION !!!


BTW... You still have NOT answered my prior question -- What constitutes "huge"??? That is to say, what is the maximum size font that I can use without being scolded for use thereof ???
