Did Coin World either change the font size or use a different font for their articles?

In the latest issue of Coin World (at least the one that I have), I noticed that the font size is either bigger, or it is a different font. I don't keep my issues, so I really can't compare it to the issue before. Does anyone know if they changed their font size or now use a different font? I am just curious.

    They are using special "magnifying paper" that makes you perceive the text as larger than it really is. This is done by technology based on soy beans and Chinese melamine. You can also dip the pages in water and you'll get milk - yep, that's what the guy at the Chinese coin shop says...genuine milk.

    Please do not take this wrong. I don't mean to be negative...

    Yup. They changed from Times to Helvetica, or something like that. I for one was not pleased with the change. It looks less professional to me.

    56 and need reading glasses. I go to the eye DR every year and say all's fine. Even with reading glasses, The guys who want to put 'ALL' their inventory on one page in coin world ( well you gre the message). I tend to bypass these cause even with the reading glasses, I think (and know) the font is too small...................The pix are still great (Sometimes)..............Rick

    Linn's Stamp News, the sister publication, just recently changed their fonts. A story in one of the recent issues explained what they did and why. I would assume Coin World has probably made a near identical change.
