3% use IE9 and 14% have a disability. Why do we only cater for the former?

I think its a love/hate thing with my site theme. I've had a lot of comments that it looks fantastic. I think I'll have to increase the font size at least.

Don't increase the font size (it doesn't help). Even when they're larger, certain characters (ie - SQL) are completely unreadable. Script is always a bad idea on the front-end.

Do your readers a favour and change your font!

I also recommend choosing a more standard font. Personally, I left the site after trying to read the article and finding it a quite unpleasant experience to try to read.

I actually like the font... but I'm not surprised that a lot of people don't.

For me, my eyes can't easily scan the text in this font, making it much slower to read.

It's a very frustrating experience when I'm interested in the article itself, but it's literally fighting me as I try to get information from it.
