Ideal line length for different text sizes

Sent by Brian M. Curran on 7 February 2010 02:02

Hello,
I'm styling my website, and noticed that at my given text size that the line lengths are too long,
because they hurt my eyes. Is there a rule of thumb for number of characters per line that will
yield the best readability?
Sincerely,
Brian
