in reply to Font sizes.

Not a bad idea

As a stopgap solution, quite a few decent browsers (half-assumption, I only really use Mozilla) allow you to set the minimum font size of any text.

You could also mess with your User Settings, and add some css to enlarge the font size. Having just looked at mine though, I'm not sure that you could apply it to just the replies.

No, Homer, very few cartoons are broadcast live - it's a terrible strain on the animator's wrist

    Well, I tried setting some CSS, but that didn't work at all. The reason might be the utter garbage Perlmonks seems to be producing. Replies get markup that looks like: 
        <UL><UL><font size = "2">User reply<P>More reply</font>

    What kind of markup is *that*? No list items, no end of list markup, <font> spanning over paragraphs. Of course, because of the hardcoded font size using the <font> tag, it's no wonder CSS can't cope.

    Your browser has an even better feature where you can specify client-side CSS. I use that to override website HTML all the time. Here's an example:

    * {
    color: white !important;
    background-color: black !important;
    FONT-FAMILY: sans-serif;
    FONT-SIZE: 13px;
    FONT-WEIGHT: normal;
}
a { text-decoration: underline; }
a:link { background-color: #000; }
a:visited { background-color: #131; text-decoration: strikethrough; }
form { display: inline; }
textarea {
    width: 100%;
    height: 25em;
}
pre { font-family: monospace; }
tt * {
    font-family: monospace;
    color: green;
}

      Mozilla can do this - simply edit the userContent.css file, as documented in Customizing Mozilla

    I've yet to find a document that describes the used element ids on perlmonks, which would be needed to do something with CSS. And I don't really fancy reenginering the generated HTML.
