Minimum font size

Post by VGZ »

Can someone tell me what the javascript code is to set the minimum font size for display.

user_pref("blah", ##); What is the blah.

I want to set the minimum size to 14 since my resolution is so high that anything less than that is unreadable. Chimera doesn't currently have a preference to set this but editing the prefs.js file in my profile should work. I know its supported in Mozilla 1.0. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

In Mozilla it's for example

user_pref("font.minimum-size.x-western", 14);

for Western Encoding.

font smoothing

Post by yol »

i've noticed for some websites chimera uses font smoothing very nicely (i am running jaguar with silk) whereas others it does not. one particular instance where it does not, i noticed the css is using pt instead of px. is this the cause or is it something else? the fonts are installed and in netscape/ie appear smoothed.

more curious than anything else as to why this would be a problem for chimera...

thx

text smoothing

Post by kaldari »

I believe Chimera defers to the minimum text smoothing size set in the General System Preferences.

that might be true, but my font smoothing is set to not apply to text at 8pt or smaller and the websites i've looked at have text at 12pt.

any other ideas?
