Do you think that the size of the fonts does have an impact when you try to learn a new language?

Are texts printed in bigger characters easier to read?

Are certain scripts easier to decipher than others?

What could be the reason that some languages (like Arabic) are printed so small? Don’t tell me that it is to save paper!
This question concerns also Farsi and Urdu. Please King Slayer and Suleiman tell me your opinion.

What if I disagree with you? I think that Persian fonts are pretty standard and I have never noticed that they were smaller. A 12px font in the collection of standard Persian fonts is not any different from a standard 12px Latin font.

Alpha, I so wholeheartedly agree with you that it makes me wonder whether this might be - horribile dictu! - an age-related thing?

One of my current italki teachers said that her grandfather would like to have a Kindle device, since he cannot see well anymore.
