Comments on: Ranting about fonts http://mike.magin.org/2008/07/09/ranting-about-fonts/ Wed, 07 Jan 2009 10:43:12 +0000 By: Michael Magin http://mike.magin.org/2008/07/09/ranting-about-fonts/#comment-5011 Michael Magin Fri, 11 Jul 2008 01:46:36 +0000 http://mike.magin.org/?p=80#comment-5011 Agreed. (This current theme isn't of my design.) My new wordpress theme will be respecting the default font size in the main body text. With regard to firefox, a coworker recently recommended http://urandom.ca/nosquint/ -- it can remember your zoom level on a per-site basis. Agreed. (This current theme isn’t of my design.)

(Like yours.) It seems easier to design things when you can make the fonts tiny: you get a bit of flexibility for specifying artificially narrow pages. (Like yours.) Fortunately, Firefox takes a bit of the sting out of tiny fonts with the Control + thing. Alas, Firefox 3 tries to scale the images up as well, which causes it to lock up on a lot of pages on my old P4. :/ My preference: not making the main font smaller than the default.
