Participants evaluated the legibility of the materials(Japanese sentences) with a questionnaire containing 13 items, and the legibility was estimated by applying the Item Response Theory to the questionnaire data. The legibility increased approximately in linear with the font size:Reading materials with font sizes of 4 and 6 were evaluated as less legible, those with font size of 10.5 were evaluated as more legible, and those with a font size of 8 were evaluated as "neutral". Visual acuity of participants influenced the legibility evaluation, though the effect was small.}, pages = {94--101}, title = {文字の読みやすさ 1 : 文字の大きさと読みやすさの評価}, volume = {12}, year = {2008} }
