.....what.....?
well, serious now, hehe.. i think that you must consider the size of the zine you´ll do. if it´s too tiny, a mini zine, consider the difficulty to read. if you´ll do reduction on your matrix, this type of thing. in the rest, you must use the font (and type) size you thing is perfect for what´s in your mind. hope I help you in something, and don´t simply tell a lot of fool things^^""

hehe, I don´t know the right english term for the zine edition you use to take your photocopies... here in Brazil, we call it "Matriz"...

I use size 10 normally, sometimes 8 if the font comes up big. Here's 4 pages from mine, each page is 1/4 of A4

I'm very conservative with fonts and always use Time New Roman for the text. In the past I used 14 point, but now I'm down to 12 - then I shrink the text 70%. Less than that, it's too small for my tastes. But it's true that size varies with the kind of fonts you are using. Experimenting is always the best thing.

I use URWLatinoT 11pt font lately.

i've been using my typewriter and i'm not sure what size it is. probably between 10 and 11.

when i printed things off my computer, i generally tried to stick to courier new size 9-10. sometimes 8. i mostly make quarter-sized zines so i don't want the font to be too big, filling up the page with just a few sentences.

[Nat Rally]

i'm into sylfaen i always have been. size 10 i guess.

[Lee McIntyre]
