And us over-40 crowd too! I now have quite a hard time reading most 12-point fonts on
the MP2x00 and eMate screens. But I think it has more to do with the thinness of the
line than the actual letter size; Casual font is much easier to read, even when small,
because the letters are made of thicker lines. Most of the other Newton fonts don't get
thick until they hit at least 16 points (IIRC) but by then they're taking up a lot of
screen space.
