While I started to write this just thinking about Macintosh apps, it
applies to Unix and Dos apps as well.
One thing I've noticed recently as we seem to be doing a lot of demos
of our Macintosh products in the E40 Vistor Center, is that even when
projected the largest fonts our apps use are just too small to be read
from the back of the room.
From now on we should have some sort of a "really big" option.
(Hacking a resource in the mac or X case *might* be good enough.) I
wouldn't be too worried about exact placement/size of windows, but we
really need something better than 9pt or 12pt. (18?) This might also
be useful in providing easier access for visually handicapped users.
