Comment (by adamwill):
mrmazda: you're spamming the bug again. please stop. when you post this
much it just overwhelms people, it doesn't make them more eager to do what
you're suggesting. I've filed the bug and I think explained the problem
clearly.
To take some points very briefly:
I didn't mean most people were OK with *reading* a 9pt font, I meant most
people were OK with the concept of *what a 9pt font is*. Saying "the
current settings are basically displaying text at 9pt" is a clear and
accurate-*enough* statement of the problem.
When you bring density into the consideration it just makes things very
messy very fast and complicates the discussion so much it's hard for
anyone to be comfortable moving forwards. Doing so is hurting your case,
not helping it.
"DEs invariably do nothing WRT density"
This is not true. GNOME/GTK+ are doing OS X-style resolution doubling
stuff now. If the density is close enough to 192dpi you get doubled
everything, you'd get another jump at each 96dpi increment after that,
IIRC. This landed in F20. http://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2013/06/28/hidpi-

"It does constitute an override of user determined optimum, whether one
wants to characterize it as "universal" or not."
You have the context wrong. I was talking about the perspective of the
*site designer*, not the *user*, as we are talking to the site designer at
present.
"Again I lost all my work."
It sounds like you should probably try composing things in a text editor
and copy/pasting them into your browser...
