while writing for creating designs, those with various disabilities should be put in mind for instance, for those with sight impairments, text size should be available in conducive sizes and the color contrast should be made putting these set of people in mind.

 * Though I like the default setting, I'm sure some will appreciate more customizability. Not all computer screens are the same. When I connect my laptop on a big screen I usually think fonts should be smaller. p o nor    (talk) 02:07, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

 * All of the above
 * 1) What option would you prefer for someone who spends most of their time reading or is a new reader?
 * The same. We should have a broadly consistent experience. It causes enough problems that editors don't think about how their content is going to look on mobile, please don't introduce a new "reader" experience on desktop to worsen this.
 * 1) Do you think language or script affect your selection?  If you are multilingual, would you select a different option based on the language or script?
 * I only read languages in Latin script, and wouldn't select differently for them. Don't know about other scripts.
 * 1) Any additional thoughts or comments around font size or typography?  What are you hoping that we accomplish with this project overall?
 * I feel like the current font size is fine, especially now the line length is limited (to be clear, I think that's a beneficial change). Users can change the overall zoom in their browser if they want. Increasing the line-height slightly seems to help readability, and since we rely a lot on superscripted notes it makes sense to give them a bit more breathing space.

 * Editing/reading
 * 1) What option would you prefer for someone who spends most of their time reading or is a new reader?
 * Probably the same, maybe slightly increased values?
 * 1) Do you think language or script affect your selection?  If you are multilingual, would you select a different option based on the language or script?
 * I only speak English and read Latin-script wikis; I think I'd use the same settings for other Latin wikis, but I can't really say how well it works for other scripts.
 * 1) Any additional thoughts or comments around font size or typography?  What are you hoping that we accomplish with this project overall?
 * I do hope for some level of user customisation - hard and fast values don't fit everyone, and even just a few options (small/medium/large) would be good.

 * 1) What option would you prefer for someone who spends most of their time reading or is a new reader?
 * I cannot say. The current default is not off-putting to me, but YMMV.
 * 1) Do you think language or script affect your selection?  If you are multilingual, would you select a different option based on the language or script?
 * I am monolingual, but I have been involved in some discussions about lang and how to select appropriate fonts. I am sure that any preference of font size and spacing will depend heavily on the script (and hence the font) chosen.
 * 1) Any additional thoughts or comments around font size or typography?  What are you hoping that we accomplish with this project overall?
 * My commiserations to you: the better this project does, the less it will be noticed. Accept my thanks now, in case when it is finished it is so good that people say 'What typography improvements?'.
 * Changing the font size without changing the line spacing is a recipe for a bad result. I therefore suggest that you provide a fourth slider that changes both font size and line spacing in proportion with each other. This would help users who have found a good text height/line height combination, and want to change the overall text size.
 * It appears to me that the paragraph spacing either side of section headings is p+k above, and p below, the heading, where p is the paragraph spacing and k is a (small) constant. When p is small, the ratio of space above:below is about 3:2, or 5:3. However, when p is larger, it gets more like 7:6, ie it approaches 1:1. This means that the section headings lose their connection with the paragraph below them and start to look like independent entities. Can you make the above:below ratio more consistent?
 * I note that when p is increased, it does not affect thumbnail images which immediately follow the section headings. The top of the paragraph drifts below the top of the image, spoiling the look of the page.
