[chinese.usembassy-china.org.cn]: Font size too small on
chinese.usembassy-china.org.cn
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=14851
The computed pixel size for x-small is 10px in both Firefox, Chrome, and
Safari. And
that's the size used by these browsers.
However, depending on what font-family is specified, the actual size used
by IE 8
changes. When simsun is explicitly specified, 10px is actually used and
characters
are too small. However, if it's arial or sans-serif, it appears that 12px
is used
for two Chinese characters below.
<ul style="font-size: 10px;">
<li style="font-family: arial;">中国 1880</li>
<li style="font-family: times new roman;">中国 1880</li>
<li style="font-family: simsun;">中国 1880</li>
<li style="font-family: sans-serif;">中国 1880</li>
</ul>
It looks like IE8 has the minimum font size for Chinese and enforces that.
Firefox
also has the minimum font size (per script/language), but it's not invoked
here (even
when it's set to, say, 12px) because the page is in UTF-8
and 'lang/xml:lang' is not
specified. (that's why I asked Xiaolu to test with GBK file or
lang="zh-CN").
I've just landed a CL to set the minimum font size in zh-CN/zh-TW chrome to
be 12px.
It'll resolve the issue for Chinese Chrome users.
Perhaps, we have to reach out to them and ask them to set the font-size for
body tag
to be 18px or 20px. Then, x-small will be resolved to 12px or larger.
