This is a first attempt, so probably the whole implementation will change, but you can now have some control over the size of fonts. I did this for Steve who can barely read the 'posted by:' lines because they show up too small on his machine.
If you go to /system/prefs you can change the size of both the regular font and the smaller 'posted by' font. Leave the top box empty (or type default) to not alter the page font. Type in a point size followed pt to change the page font to a specified size. 12pt will get you 12 point type.
The bottom box is for the 'posted by' font size. This defaults to 'smaller' (that's how it is set now - this just makes it one step down in point size from whatever you have your browser font size set to.) You can change this to a specific point size. Probably something around 10pt or 12pt is what you want.
Feel free to experiment. Only effects what you see. Unfortunately, at this time, it won't work for pages which have their own style-sheets specified (arboretum, tommoody) and it won't work on dratfink.
Hope that helps Steve at least.
Wheew!!
My eyes thank you.
Oh, right. I didn't think about the comments. I'll get that working this morning.
Should work now for all comments.

Hmmmmmm.
it enlarged the "posted by' fonts on all posts and comments with the exception of the first one I made on this thread.

I take that back. I haven't figured out how to make it work on the "posted by" for the comments.
I mean that following a comment:
posted by bill (for example) is still so small that I can barely read it.
I entered 12pt. in the lower window of the prefference page, is that what I should be doing?

It def. works for the "posted by" when it is an original post (for example the posts you made on the System News page) But comments to those posts remain tiny. It is a big help though, thanks.
