I am much in favour of leaving the font at 14pt: as explained I print
the docs as a booklet, (size A5 and recto-verso). It saves a lot of
paper and ink. ;-)
Although I agree, it is too big when printing as A4.
Just my 1€cent

It was designed for reading onscreen two pages side-by-side, so the font
size was made large enough to read comfortably and still fit on the
screen. The font size was one of the objections people had; the other
was the margins. When I change it to a more "normal" template, the font
and margins will be more what you and others are used to.

Is there a reason the documentation font is 14? Most docs I've downloaded are
10, and some are 12, but none other than this one are 14.

I don't think we're going to have a better opportunity. I vote yes.

We've had a lot of complaints from people who print our PDFs about our
two-up design (which was intended for reading on screen), so I've made
the LibreOffice template in the more common portrait design with fonts
to suit.
So, my question: should we also change the OOo template? This is a good
time to do it, while updating all the docs to V3.3. Yes, I know we're in
the middle of updating to the latest 2-up template, but only a subset of
the docs have been done, and they are all still in draft, so...
My vote is yes, to change the OOo template now, along with everything
else that's going on. I was going to recommend doing it soon anyway,
while we're setting files up for reusing material. I've been holding off
a bit because Clayton's been working on a template for the developer
docs, and we've been talking about the pros and cons of bringing the
user guides into a similar look as the developer docs. The changes I
would make now would go along with that.
Comments?
