Matt -

I like the font size - for elders in particular and for those whose  
reading difficulties have to do with eyesight, your font size seems  
about right. It is for me, at any rate - at my advanced age!

Also, our medical facility recommends a sans-serif font for its  
publications, as the serifs occasionally "blur" the image of the words  
and make the text appear too dense.
