Yeah, I think increasing the font-size on posts a bit makes sense, though to do that I will also have to increase the central column width, since we are otherwise approaching a fairly low number of characters per line, but that should be doable.
While I agree that increasing the font-size on comments is more necessary, I am also worried that it’s by far the most costly there, since increasing the height of any individual comment makes skimming the comment threads a lot more difficult.
I will give redisigning the comment area a try sometime in the next few days, and depending on how that goes, I might actually end up going with a sans-serif for the comments, which should then increase readability at the smaller font-sizes we have right now. FB seems to get away with a 12px font-size, which I do think is a bit too small, but it generally still seems fairly readable.
