I have a workaround for this problem: setting the Gnome DPI to 96, which was 86 as probed by X. After increasing the DPI parameter, I get normal font size in firefox rendered web pages, with the side effect that fonts in other places are universally enlarged.
Workaround: Right click on desktop -> select "Change Desktop Background" -> click "Fonts" tab -> click "Details..." button -> increase the "Resolution" parameter -> click "Close" ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- firefox displays fonts smaller than it should have https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120811 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
