<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Hi Kitara,<br><br></div>As a person who uses captioning, in your example the font is definitely too small. Fonts should be at least 24 point unless on HD, then you would want to use a larger font. When I've captioned materials, I try to set the captioning to fit approximately 50% of the width. If you have the capability to allow the user to set the size, then provide a reasonably good size and let them re-size if needed.<br><br></div>That's my 2 cents for the day!<br><br></div>Happy Friday to all,<br></div>Heidi<br><br><br></div><div><div><font size="2" face="Tahoma">+++++++++++++++</font></div>
