Using the default fonsize makes the pages "old fashioned" - not only my

I use the standard font size at mindprod.com. It makes my type look
large and old fashioned. I get fan mail on it. I am interested in
making the content easier to read, rather trying than to impress you
with a "professional" appearance.

Much of it is LARGER than 100%. That is the problem.

This was recommended by ergonomics people.

That is a good thing; it is not unprofessional.

I think your worst "unprofessional" offense at mindprod.com is using so
many bloddy fonts! I think I'm seeing about 5 different fonts just on
the home page. The mish-mash of type sizes doesn't help.

Every selector in your stylesheet that sets font-family uses a different
list. Get some consistency, mate!
