This is the wrong solutions.
There is a reason why 16pt is the standard font-size. And its no problem to design a responsive website with columns that use 'between 45 and 75 characters per line'.
- akx 13y agoWhat exactly makes you say 16pt is the standard font size? For instance, the comment threads on HN are at 12px (9pt), and are entirely legible for me.
- taf2 13y agocmd+ cmd+ cmd+ cmd+ cmd+ oh yeah, you're right 9pt is very readable for me too.
- ohwp 13y agoI was referring to the default font size in browsers.
- akx 13y agoAt least for my Windows Chrome, the default font size is 16px, not pt. 16pt corresponds to roughly 20px on my (Windows default) settings.
- ronaldx 13y agoGreat for you! I am reading this comment at 16pt.
- vertex-four 13y agoNot for me on a 1080p 27-inch monitor from a reasonable distance. I have to browse Hacker News at 125%, and Reddit at 110% - although almost all other websites work fine.
