Smaller fonts

Maybe this is just me, but I would love to be able to use a LOT smaller fonts.

I run at 1280x1024 resolution (in a window) and fonts are still too big. If I have a script window open as well as the IM window and inventory and edit window, it leaves just enough room to see the first half of what people say around me.

If I have two script windows open at once I cant see anything, so when ever someone talks to me I have to close everything I am doing just to say hi. (Yes I know you can minimize, and the minimized windows sit right on top of the text people are saying :p )

In my normal day to day work, I run at 1600x1200 with a 5 or 7 point font so, to me, the SL fonts are MASSIVE. Smaller fonts please :)

Make that an option -- Bigger? Smaller? Normal? -- and I'm with you. To me, 5-7pt font is incredibly tiny. (For the record, I run 1280x760 on my work computer and keep things at 10pt.)

(Accessibility note: There's also the issue of people who might have vision impairments and consequently need large fonts.)
