--- Comment #9 from Gregory Swain <thex...@thexlab.com> --- (In reply to comment #8) > In terms of reader function see bug 49163 - I ran some investigations and > worked out what was going on. One of the better articles I've found on designing for Reader is here: http://mathiasbynens.be/notes/safari-reader > I think as you suggest a survey might help work out which user's are effected > by this problem. Although a a third of the US population have this problem we > can't directly equate this to iPhone users - I posited "one third of iPhone users" as a hypothetical upper bound in response to your question "What is the extent of the problem?" It could be more, it could be less. There could be millions of Android users who don't know how to set a minimum font size in their browser and have the same problem reading Mobile Wikipedia. Just because a browser — or any other technology — has a feature, one can't assume people know about it or know how to use it. It would be difficult to conduct a proper, i.e. statistically valid, survey of the problem, but an informal survey might glean some useful data. > maybe no browser font size is a reason people don't buy an iPhone. I suspect the vast majority of people don't consider features like this when buying smartphones. The real problem here is designing Web pages for smartphones. As I've noted, other mobile-optimized sites have chosen larger fonts to improve readability for their articles and I recommend Mobile Wikipedia do the same. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
