I use font size at least 15. :-P Well, it depends on what resolution I'm
running at.  For 1280x1024, I use about 15. For my home PC running at
1600x1200, I use 18 or 20. I find anything less than 14 straining on my
eyes, and anything below 12 painful.

I'm a stickler for 80 column text terminals. I find that anything much
larger than that tends to be unwieldy because your eyes have to scan too
far a horizontal distance per line. And I like the 80 columns to fill
the entire width of the screen. (I have stopped believing in tiling or
overlapping windows. Maximize everything FTW.)

But then again, I don't expect anyone else to share my peculiar
configuration.  :-P
