I'm marking up the same files using Annotations in various Adobe products: (1) Adobe Reader 11.0.19, (2) Adobe Acrobat Pro X, and (3) Acrobat Pro DC. Clients are working in Adobe Pro on Macs, and although I have enlarged the font size in Preferences from 10 to 20 to 80 pt Lucida Grande, what they see is minuscule. They can change font size at their end, but this discrepancy in size occurs only on my files. Would the font choice be the problem? What do you recommend? Fingers crossed that you have a solution!

If this ever helps anyone, here's the fix I figured out: Multiple clients of mine, the ones for whome this was a problem, use a Microsoft font family entitled Segoe UI. I downloaded and installed that font and, lo and behold, the font size held from my hardware/software to all of theirs. Hallelujah! Good luck, y'all!

Segoe UI is a font included with all recent versions of Windows. There are no legal downloads for other platforms, though stolen copies are shared by the lawless. It is a Microsoft branding font not intended to be used by end users at all. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/fonts/font-faq
