Clearly what is "sane and usable" depends on how well your eyes work
and how sharp you display device is (small text can be hard to read on
TVs).
That said I have
subfont-text-scale=3
subfont-osd-scale=4
in my config file, and I don't mind changing the MPlayer defaults to
e.g. those values if there is no opposition to it.
