I feel the need to propose:
fts;dr - font too small; didn't read
But perhaps we need a more general code for font, font size, and style issues.

  @robparsons @Steveg58 @holothuroid I'd like to mention insufficient contrast here, too. Although I often see pages/sites that have insufficient contrast *and* too-small fonts at the same time, so yeah, maybe a general "unreadable design" thing might be best. @kagan @Steveg58 @holothuroid yes, that is true. The number of people who think light grey font on white background is asthetic....e @robparsons @Steveg58 @holothuroid I feel like design schools, or art schools, or *someplace*, are making a concerted effort to teach designers that contrast is evil and they should avoid it wherever possible. I don't know how else to account for the prevalence of washed-out, low-contrast design all over the place. @kagan @Steveg58 @holothuroid my immediate reaction is the old saying - don't attribute to malice that which can be adequately accounted for by incompetence. In my experience that's very rarely wrong. I suspect if there is a cause, it's more likely to be design schools not foregrounding user experience, thus failing to teach students to take into account what their customers want and need.  @holothuroid  @Steveg58 @holothuroid font size can usually be addressed, but that inspires |
@Steveg58 @holothuroid maybe ftc;cr - font too crap; couldn't read.
