چکیده
In this paper, an experiment is conducted on 20 subjects to test the effects of differing font sizes on task completion time and task productiveness. The experiment used 5 different font sizes to present information to subjects before asking them to complete a task concerned with the information. The subjects were measured for task completion time and assigned scores for each task. No significant differences were found between the font size used for the task and the score subjects received, or the task completion time.
