This is your friendly reminder that low vision users exist. We need font sizes that are dramatically larger than yours.

Many of us use the “minimum font size" NOT zoom, because we need bigger text, not bigger images.

I'm on the very low end of low vision needs, but my 20pt minimum font size breaks SO MANY web sites.

This pic shows how big fonts are on my screen (thumb & ruler for context).

A photograph of a screen with a text editor. In front of it is a thumb holding a ruler with metric and imperial measurements. 5 lines of text are just under two inches, or five centimeters tall.
