![]() Block’s (1996) suggestion that most people are around 4 feet away when they read a poster seems pretty reasonable to me, and so this produces a letter height of 0.34 inches needed to correspond to a 0.007 subtended angle. This advice can readily translate to font sizes in poster presentations, since there is a limited range in which people will attempt to read them. At my usual sitting distance I can read fonts down to 7 points, but I would prefer not to under usual circumstances. A subtended angle of 0.007 produces a font size of just over 11 points at that distance. Most everyone with corrective vision can clearly see under 0.007, but we shouldn’t be making our readers strain to read the text.įor comparison, I sit approximately 22 inches away from my computer screen. Personal experimentation for me is that 0.007 is a good size, although up to 0.010 is not uncomfortably large. ![]() ![]() My research into other recommendations (eye tests, highway symbols) tends to be smaller, and between mine and Smith’s other sources tends to produce a range of 0.003 to 0.010 radians. From this Smith gives the recommendation as 0.007 radians as a good bet for pretty much everyone to be able to read the text. ![]()
