I'm not academic - can you explain why he mentioned the font sizes? Why are they relevant?

  I find the sentence comical in its humility and practicality; I assume leif did too. Acangiano puts it in the same league as Fermat's famous note in the margin of his copy of Arithmetica. I assume he included the paper in two font sizes to suit the reader's preference; no deeper meaning.

    True, some of those intellectuals must have poor eyesight due to a lifetime of reading.

    Yeah, basically I found it funny juxtaposing the announcement of such a magnificent result (should it end up proving true) with such a mundane, utilitarian comment.
