Ask HN: Why are fonts on websites so small?
7 by linkdd | 5 comments on Hacker News.
I find myself zooming up to 150%, sometimes 175% on almost every website out there, HN included. Even my desktop graphic settings are set to 125% UI scale. Small fonts make me less tired at the end of the day, as I spent a lot of time reading documentation and whatever. I usually sit at 1 meter from my screen, but even when I use my laptop at 50cm from the screen, it's still too small. I don't have a bad eyesight either, as I have no problem reading books, which have a good font size IMHO. I was just wondering, how many people out there is like me, zooming everything to have an easier time reading.
