Well, Google, Gmail and even Wikipedia have a 'small' font-size. I'm sure people don't find Wikipedia hard to read :) The only difference with the user manual is that it actually takes the whole screen, so it might be difficult to follow such big lines with a small font. I haven't made up my mind yet... I think a 'normal' font-size also looks good. --=20 =46elipe Contreras
