First off, huge thank you and well done to Team Razorfish: you've done an amazing job on this skin. Beautiful!
Anyway, for those of us who still have standard def TVs there's still a bit of a problem with the text sizes as certain bits of text are not really legible with the current sizes. I recently came across a script by chapado on this thread (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=36208) which i used to bump up the font sizes by 5pt across the board. This, though not a perfect solution, did a very good job with minimal aesthetic impact on my PAL 32" 16:9 TV. Below are screenshots to highlight differences and issues with standard font set vs 5pt larger.
1. settings screen
Firstly, imo, the +5pt font size is for the actual settings themselves is the minimum comfortably legible font size. The titles were fine, but obviously if you increase the size of the main body it might ruin the feel if you didn't do the same to some extent with the titles. The sub-menu was a little on the small size originally. As you can see a full 5pt increase over-steps the boundries though. A pt increase of 2-3 may be enough for these.
