Currently I’m working on an editor that uses a read only textbox to display some data for the user to check. I find that the defaults (Microsoft Sans Serif, 8 pts.) is hard to read even for me. However, when I bump it up to 9 the font looks really clunky.
What, your honest opinions, would be the best combo to produce good readability without sacrificing looks?
Segoe UI or Calibri are common fonts for Windows, and they look good at a font size of 8-9 points.
