   Point Size is a good idea.   
      
   Another strategy would be to print a 80x24 grid on transparency film paper.    
   (One can use a laser printer or inkjet printer.)   
      
   That way you can move this transparent grid closer, or further back, to get   
   the right amount of scaling that shows where there is too much whitespace, too   
   little whitespace, fonts are too small, or fonts are too big.
