This request is so long overdue - as it's been annoying me since about the first day I joined Proz 5 years ago!! The thing is that while an English font size 12 is the default font size and perfectly legible when it comes to Latin letters, it's annoyingly small in Arabic. Yes it is legible, but it's just not comfortable, and sometimes it's actually hard to distinguish certain letters*.

So if it's technically possible, could we please have a font size 14 for any Arabic text throughout the site? It would make a hell of a difference and the Arabic community will be eternally grateful!!
* e.g. ث and ت (these are two different letters, but the difference is barely visible in font size 12)

PS: The font size here actually looks more like 10 - in that case, an increase to 12 in Arabic will do... (I could swear on some occasions, esp in Kudoz, the font size looks something like 8!!)

| Pump up the size of Arabic text in proz.com to 12 pt (or even to 14 pt) | Jun 15, 2009 |
Greetings... taHaiya Tayyiba wa maa b3ad...
I second and reinforce Nesrin's reasonable and good request to increase the size of Arabic text displayed inside proz.com (I thought that eyestrain-inducing display of such small-sized Arabic text was due [erroneously] to the settings of my monitor after I subscribed some years ago to proz.com).
An increase of the Arabic font size to 12 pt would be nice, and up to 14 pt even nicer.
Hope this helps. Khair, in shaa'... See more Greetings... taHaiya Tayyiba wa maa b3ad...
