A lot of online news articles now have Facebook comments.

The text is so small, I can barely read them. Increasing the zoom on my browser does not help.

How does anyone read these comments? Is it me?


The bottom of the page has the comments.

It's small, and gives me a headache, but I have nerve damage in both eyes so...not the best person to compare with. I have heard people complain that Facebook status fonts and stuff are much to small, quite a bit actually.

I'm dyslexic and find it really hard to read facebook comments most of the time. The font is really weird it's really small and all squashed up and to me looks like all the words merge together so it looks like one mass of nonsense!!! I like WP because the fonts nice to read and the background the text is on is coloured which makes it easy for me to read! (I find it really hard to read black text on a white background).

I can see them very clearly, have you tried using reading glasses?

In Chrome and IE it doesn't, but Firefox zooms the text just fine.
