I read the Times of Malta every day. I admit a 90-year-old-man should not grumble but may I ask why all the news and features are now printed in six point?

I understand that the reason for this is to get more information into the pages but may I assure you that six-point reading is very tiring.

Introducing a six-point font should be the last resort when dealing with a story of importance that cannot be heavily edited.

People with poor eyesight find it really hard to tackle such lengthy six-point reading.

Perhaps the editor will consider this plea.

Editorial note: Actually the point size is nine not six.
