Default MetO Analysis Charts

I notice the analysis charts have had a small facelift with blacker

I do think though, that the increase font size for the Highs and Lows
seems out of proportion.

Take today's Low 1001 on the 06z - the labelling covers most of the Bay
of Biscay!

Does the Met O pay for eyesight tests for their staff!

The isobars, far from being blacker, are now
thinner. Since the isobars are the main feature of a synoptic chart
this seems a poor idea. I agree about the font size - it all looks a
bit Noddy. The strange thing is that the forecast charts are still in
the old style, and better for being so.
