Knowing your operating system and a longer list of URLs exhibiting this
behavior would help. There were bugs fixed in 1.5 that affect pages
sizing text in units that are affected by DPI (mostly pt).

I've seen no change in Google home or maps, don't use gmail, and don't
use ALA without author styles disabled due to its insistence on
mousetype by default. I don't know what your blog looked like before,
but it certainly isn't designed to embrace zoom gracefully.

It is really unusual to hear a web designer complain of too small fonts. :-O
