Maybe I'm getting old, but using 12px font size on an article is evil.
- jancsika 8y agoEvil in the same way your cat stalking your foot is evil. Zoom in.
- panopticon 8y agoThen you balloon the whole page content, navigation and all. I maintain that 12px font is silly for long-form content.
- jancsika 8y agoI'm zoomed in at 200% on an 11" at 1366x768 and still all the text wraps cleanly within the viewport. If I want to zoom in further I can click the little book icon for reader view in Firefox, and the content will wrap without scrollbars to my heart's content. So again, evil in the same way a BDFL maintainer is a tyrant.
- r00fus 8y agoI'm loving the feature on hn clients like MiniHack that auto-enable readability mode for the browser when you click through to the article. It's like wearing polarized shades.
- pwg 8y agoFirefox -> Preferences -> Content -> Fonts & Colors -> Advanced -> Minimum font size And the problem is cleared right up.
- oh_sigh 8y agoIsn't that the standard size for text?
- panopticon 8y agoThe default in Chrome and Firefox is 16px.
