I now see that this was requested in bug 82344. Sigh. I can only say that other sites designed for reading large quantities of text (e.g. news.bbc.co.uk, but I imagine most other news sites) have not taken the same IMO mistaken decision. |

I'm seeing the problem too, so confirming. |

The font size used for the body text of bugs recently increased. It is now jarringly large and feels like reading a large-print book. If I were visually-impaired, I'd increase my font size myself; Launchpad should use something more reasonable. In particular, it is now noticeably bigger than the text used in portlets, which is off-putting.
Few non-trivial bugs fit on my screen as a whole. As a result, one of the things I value in the bug UI is the ability to see a reasonably substantial amount of text in one go so that I don't have to keep scrolling up and down. The new font size means that I generally have to hit Ctrl+- before I can do this. Please consider reverting this change. |
The font size used for most text in launchpad is jarringly large and feels like reading a large-print book. This applies especially to systems with large (>90) dpi values. Launchpad should use something more reasonable. In particular, the main font is noticeably bigger than the text used in portlets, which is off-putting.
