> robyduck: I visit a lot of Fedora websites, and I overrode it to 91%
locally yesterday and they all look better to me.
Nice, then it's less work than expected. Want to provide a patch? :) \\
Is 91% not too big? I see many sites are using 82%, and that is not so far
away from 76%, but still a bit bigger.
> Felix was giving an extreme example, but I'm using a 1920x1080 22"
monitor - that's 103dpi, almost the same as your laptop which is 100dpi,
and it still looks damn small to me. I wouldn't say 'acceptable', I'd say
'just barely readable'.
I'm on a 15" right now and can read it without any problem, but if there
are difficulties we should work on this.
> mrmazda: the stuff about densities only confuses the issue, which is why
I was trying to avoid it. Especially since users and desktops know about
density and try to compensate for it. If you leave it out of the question
entirely and assume the 96dpi convention, you can just talk about
equivalent point sizes - most people are comfortable with the concept of a
9pt font on a 'normal' display, which is the equivalent of what we're
displaying with a 76% setting if it is not overridden later.
Ok, better if we avoid it.
> Yes, some Fedora sites fiddle with the sizes later, but I'd figure at
least that the Wiki is one of the most commonly-visited sites, and it's
badly affected by this. So is this domain itself.
I was thinking about the sites we maintain directly, such as fp.o,
spins.f.po, fcomm, fudcon, start.f.po, ..
