@ Kirkburn: I was mostly referring to the widget. Using a larger font for the RC widget detracts from the site navigation which is much more central to using the site than RC or the article count.

As Brandon Rhea already said, if someone has difficulties reading standard-sized text, he or she can increase the global font size in his or her browser.
