    hahaaaa verdana 10 pt :)

    Tiresias is the typeface that was developed specifically for broadcast legibility. You shouldn't really go below 24 pt. Under no circumstance should you go below 18 pt.

    If you need to take into account the scenario of a widescreen broadcast being played out on a 4:3 telly (i.e. being letterboxed and therefore being shrunk to 75% of total size) then I would recommend that you don't go below 27 pt.
