Filed a possibly related bug 672015 (Epiphany uses the wrong DPI). Whoops! Meant bug 672105. Sorry for the spam. Thank you for your bug report. We are sorry, but the Fedora Project is no longer releasing bug fixes or any other updates for this version of Fedora. This bug will be set to CLOSED:WONTFIX to reflect this, but please reopen it if the problem persists after upgrading to the latest version of Fedora, which is available from: http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers |
Created attachment 474869 [details] Screenshot showing epiphany rendering a range of font sizes. I recently upgraded my netbook from Fedora 11 (epiphany-2.26.3-9) to Fedora 14 (epiphany-2.30.6-1) and font sizes for many web pages have reduced to the point where they're difficult to read. The default font size now looks to be 11 pixels which, at 134DPI, is about the same size as 8 pixel text at 96DPI. For comparison, I find 13px is a comfortable reading size and had the default font set to this in epiphany on Fedora 11. That setting is gone now, but I'll file a separate bug for that. I've attached a screenshot showing how epiphany renders unstyled and styled text. My GNOME font settings (from GConf) are: antialiasing: grayscale dpi: 134 hinting: full rgba_order: rgb font_name: Sans 6.5 document_font_name: Sans 8 monospace_font_name: Monospace 7
