Writing to someone partially sighted

[merlin]

Serious question - What font is best to use when writing to partially sighted person(s)?

 

[Gilly]

Large

(Sorry, couldn't help it, I find Tahoma easiest to read)

 

[Simmz]

Arial black font 16/18. Don't use bold.

 

[bledd]

maybe send a few letters, with 4x generic fonts at say size 16 (or bigger)

times new roman
arial
tahoma
comic sans

 

[uber soldat]

Possibly not this font

Arial black font 16/18. Don't use bold.

Tried that, it's terrible.

I'm absolutely sure there's an official Microsoft (Word) recommendation for partially sighted but google says I'm talking out my backside.

Write it very slowly, they might not be able to read very fast.

In that case you lose, you don't win.
