Comment:

 I think the fonts are reasonable, but I generally prefer fonts on the
 smaller side.  It is true that they are smaller than on many desktops, but
 it's also true that the screen is smaller, and the resolution is higher
 (which should allow them to appear crisp even when small).

 We clearly need an accessibility option for controlling font size.  I'm
 not sure if that will be boolean or on some discrete scale.  Either way, I
 think that without more complaint feedback we don't have enough evidence
 that this is truly a problem for the default configuration.

 Marco, how easy is it to bump the system font size up a few notches, just
 to see what it looks like?
