See, this is another thing broken in the current web. I made a usercss (Stylus) to normalize font size for certain elements and it works reasonably well. But on this site, it looks like this.
Anyone has a guess why, something with viewport or other meta tags?
Edit: fixed, they use a custom font with weird size settings. Looks like this now (with my normalize usercss).
As a web dev we do try to accommodate userCSS for accessibility reasons but often font sizes are tuned to what they are for a reason. I'd guess there's a line height issue here.
You mean that their font was customized to display a certain size, for whatever reason?
Right,
browser.display.use_document_fonts = 0fixed it, lol.Maybe a fixed line-height?
But my usercss enforces font-size: medium for elements but this looks more like x-large. And it works well for 99% of pages.
Font-size and line-height are different properties
