I think the font size being small has something to do with our settings in Linux, my wife visits some of the same sites using Opera in Windows and reports that the font size is larger.
Yes, that's something that grates me immensely. And it's not just the fonts, it's all the content on the web page. Why does browsers in linux render stuff so small by default. If I leave them on default settins, both Opera and Mozilla in Windows render the fonts and pictures in a size that's small, but just comfortable for me to read. In linux, I always have to enlarge it two or three notches. I realise the default size might be OK for some people, but that's not the point. The point is that the default size of anything about the browsers (even the font of the menu bar at the top - we've been through this a couple of times) is just so damn small in linux. But that's not my problem with Opera. The problem there is that when you enlarge the page, all of a sudden the fonts and pictures look terrible.
