Font size?

I recently upgraded to a pixel 9 pro and noticed that the higher resolution resulted in text that was often too small.

I went to my settings and increased my font size to 125%. However, I noticed that this doesn't seem to apply to titles on Tildes, at least not in a uniform way.

It's hard to say without going back to my old phone, which I can't easily do right now, but I do think I recall title font size varying depending on the length of the title. But perhaps the difference wasn't as drastic on my old phone due to the difference in resolution? Perhaps the titles with smaller font sizes were still easy to see so I didn't really notice? It's just very noticable on this phone. I don't want to increase zoom on Chrome for every website just to solve this issue.

Ideas?

    Can't help very much except show you what it looks like for me so that you can compare. So I checked on my phone (iPhone 13) and titles are all the same size https://i.ibb.co/59zCNdY/IMG-8764.png

      That's much nicer than what I have going on here lol. Here is what I see on Pixel 9 Pro: https://ibb.co/j3sbjnG

        That's definitely not how it's supposed to look, and it doesn't look like that when zoomed in on iOS. I don't have an Android phone to tinker with to try to solve the issue though. But if you go to chrome://flags/ on your browser there should be a bunch of zoom options in there, one of which may be responsible for the mismatched topic title text sizes, and if disabled or enabled may fix the issue. And after googling around a bit, I suspect if you disable the "Smart Zoom" accessibility feature in there it might solve it.

        If one of those settings doesn't solve it though, let me know so I can create a bug report for this issue, and then try to figure out if there is something @Deimos can do on Tildes' end to prevent it from happening (like maybe adding text-size-adjust: none; to topic title elements, or something).

          This works for now! I set
          #enable-accessibility-page-zoom
          to
          "Enabled with OS adjustment"

          It's actually not ideal, because now my choices in Android are having text be slightly too big or slightly too small. And it has to be adjusted at the OS level which means it applies to everything and not just Chrome. But at least it's visible and uniform now. My previous choices were way too small and uniform or visible and not uniform.

          Thanks!

            Out of curiosity, does the same issue exist on other browsers on your phone, like on Firefox?

        is it any better on the Three Cheers for Tildes app for size/uniformity?

          Yes, tcft was fine. I do use it sometimes but for some reason I'm still in the habit of clicking my chrome shortcut more often than not. Old habits.
