Your opinions are fine and not problematic as long as you don't assume I'll honor them. Fonts also change size depending on my DPI, etc. There's really no good reason to assume a bit of text has a certain width. You can force a container to have a certain width and let the text adapt to that width, but assuming the text will have a certain size will cause problems with edge cases like this. For my part, it usually doesn't matter. When rarely a designer assumes text will have a certain size, I can usually fix it with Stylish (a Firefox plugin for user css) and I rarely give it another thought. I was only supporting the OP concerning the superiority of minimum font size vs zooming. Minimum font size is a pretty common setting to use so just because only two of us mentioned it, don't assume it isn't used often. The reason the OP noticed it at all is because it's almost never a problem on any site anywhere and when it is it really stands out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GitHub" group.
