It' super easy to change the font size. In all of the templates this year there's been a setting to set the default font size. Also changing the font face is usually a very simple css process. We'll try to freshen up the font situation though

Yes you're correct! I suppose the beauty of the rocketthemes is that they are so easy to change via CSS, so my observance is really a moot point =) Also typography is such a relative thing, especially with web subjects. Print have a more definable set of a typographic "rules" I suppose! Best regards!

I think this is solved now. (Well it is for me) I was trying the brand new template Hive Mind and had the lousy looking Helvetica problem again. I also noticed it with Optima. I then went into my Control panel > Fonts and removed my install of Type 1 Helvetica, and Optima. I then went back to the Hive Mind demo and --- BEAUTIFUL!!!!! this was also an issue with Bento Box. They all look great now. I just dragged the fonts into a folder so I can use them if I need to for Illustrator or for a print layout I may have done in Quark a while ago.
Found this reference to the helvetica issue that we are discussing here. I am starting to think it is widespread.
