What exactly makes you say 16pt is the standard font size? For instance, the comment threads on HN are at 12px (9pt), and are entirely legible for me.

- taf2 13y agocmd+ cmd+ cmd+ cmd+ cmd+ oh yeah, you're right 9pt is very readable for me too.
- ohwp 13y agoI was referring to the default font size in browsers.
- akx 13y agoAt least for my Windows Chrome, the default font size is 16px, not pt. 16pt corresponds to roughly 20px on my (Windows default) settings.
- ronaldx 13y agoGreat for you! I am reading this comment at 16pt.
