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

Screenshot of fark.com

Added screenshots of bugzilla (which sizes its text with "font-size: small") and fark.com (which sizes its text with font-size: 9pt).

Filed a possibly related bug 672015 (Epiphany uses the wrong DPI).

Whoops! Meant bug 672105. Sorry for the spam.
