[Bug 646418] New: text too small for high DPI users and users lacking excellent vision
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=646418 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=646418#c0 Summary: text too small for high DPI users and users lacking excellent vision Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Software Portal AssignedTo: benji@opensuse.org ReportedBy: mrmazda@earthlink.net QAContact: opensuse-communityscreening@forge.provo.novell.com CC: jstutz@novell.com, nwagstaff@novell.com, aj@novell.com Found By: Other Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=394835) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=394835) draft user stylesheet for opensuse.org +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #203468 +++ This is actually an accessibility as well as a usability issue: opensuse.org is generally difficult to impossible use as currently styled at high DPI and/or high resolution settings without using a browser's zoom or minimum size functions. Web page text should never be sized in px. Most web page text should be left at the user's default size so that he can read it without doing anything more than arriving there. All pages I have recently sampled now have text sized at 12px or 13px, making it about 7pt or smaller on high resolution displays. User default sizes are just right. Ignoring them entirely as is now done is horribly rude. User defaults should be left to operate by styling from a 100% of default base, with all sizing limited to context as smaller or larger may be appropriate for specific elements, such as headers, footers, parentheticals, superscripts, etc. http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=24695 describes the exact same problem, so the screenshot attached there should suffice here.

Yesterday I realized I needed to spend considerable time to update those styles after a visit to http://forums.opensuse.org/english/ .
