Betreff: [games_access] Query about font size for subtitles in games

Hello everybody,

I'm currently doing some research on  game subtitling practices and 
accessibility related issues for deaf and hard of hearing players and I 
am trying to find information about the font size(s) that is/are more 
commonly used and also if there is any information about what font size 
would be recommended.

I know that in some cases te font is usually too small and hard to read, 
especially on standard definition TV sets, but I would like to have some 
more concrete data. What would be a font size that is used and is 
difficult to read? What font size would be recommended? Those of you who 
design games, what font do you usually use for subtiles for cutscenes 
and in-game dialogue?

Any information would be really helpful.

Many thanks in advance,

Carmen
