Starting over, so to speak: This is an accessibility problem. The issue is that default fonts on many web pages are too small for many people with minor vision problems, or people who are simply over the age of 40, to read. I suppose one could require such people to buy 30-inch displays, but that would be absurd!
Instead, my solution is usually to specify a minimum font size. However, as one can see from all the above comments in this report, that solution has a flaw in the case where CSS is used to position parts of the page - apparently the parameters used are derived from the UNzoomed, unchanged font size - something like that. For Firefox, what does work, apparently is to UNcheck "Allow pages to choose their own fonts..." and force all pages to use the browser's user-selected fonts, instead of the page-defined fonts. This is fairly acceptable, in most cases. It would be a problem where some parts of a page need to use a Unicode range not covered by most standard fonts, such as the Georgian alphabet, and the user needs to use a standard font elsewhere. One possible solution would be to have a default zoom setting, set by the user (which itself would default to 1.0), which affects graphics and text equally. For this particular page, being able to just have a default zoom setting would work well. Typically, without zooming, the page only partially fills the screen horizontally, but the text is hard to read due to its small size. Zooming till it's readable also just fills the screen. But that's just for me - other people of course have worse problems reading text. -- CSS works improperly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257408 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
