    The font sizes for your articles are difficult to read. I realize paper costs money but I fear you, at a minimum, are damaging the eye sights of our future scientists, or worse, discouraging the reading of provocative articles.

  2. Hi Ronald, If in a paper journal the text is too small, it is indeed not very inviting to read!

    This website (Fonts In Use) has – for better or worse – nothing to do with the font size in the Scientific American magazines. If you find the body text of Fonts In Use too small, fortunately it is a website. Simply press cmd and plus, until you find the font size comfortable.
