[Air-l] Web font sizes

Hello all, Does anyone know why some websites use very small Arial type fonts? I asked a colleague and he said it was so as to get as much information as possible on a page. Have there been studies in this area? Thanks a lot, Rosemary ====================== Rosemary Agbonlahor Africa Regional Centre for Information Science P.O.
