This should be a crime against humanity: body { font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; }

  Why?
  • weare138 5y ago
    When you use fixed font sizes like that browsers can't resize them based on the screen size/viewport. 12px fonts are really small and hard to read on high resolution screens.
    • echeese 5y ago
      That's false, px refers to CSS pixel, which is not tied to physical screen pixels.

        It still renders excessively small on my lo-dpi screen. Absolute pixel sizing text is silly even if it is a phony virtualized unit.
    • dkonofalski 4y ago
      They can still zoom them in, though. It's not like specifying a font size is an absolute value.
  • tomjakubowski 5y ago
    My guess is that it's 1 pixel short of a typical 1.5x line height.
    • dkonofalski 4y ago
      Standard line heights are usually 1.4.

  In college I was told to use 12pt font and now you and your browser must live with that.
