Thank you. But... this is what it looks like now.

If you're using one of the layouts above, the font size for entries, etc, will likely become larger. We've tried to adjust the other font sizes (entry titles, journal titles), so that these are not super-huge in comparison to before, but some will likely also be larger than before.

Super-huge is an understatement.

What's your browser's base font set at?

Honestly, I don't know -- I've never touched it. Those screenshots were in Safari (but it looks the same in Firefox) which I don't normally use, so everything should be default.

Is it possible that you've adjusted the size of some or all Dreamwidth pages in your browser? Try setting the zoom back to 100% (which is "*" or "CTRL+0" in some browsers) and see if that helps.

Reset the zoom, no change. D:

I am seeing it on your page, too :/ It looks like you customized your style a fair bit, though, is that the case?

What does it say on http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options?group=style ? Does changing the "Size of base font" change anything?
allchildren: kay eiffel's face meets the typewriter (every good thing)

[personal profile] allchildren 2010-04-30 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, I haven't customized a thing beside the background color. And the first thing I did when I figured out how to navigate was go back and reset the style to default just in case.

Base font is set at 14. I just changed it to 8, and still unreasonably gigazmor, just somewhat less. >:/

What layout is it? I am going to try and reproduce, okay?

Bases Tropical. I've just set the base font to 1 (em) and it looks normalish. Semi-success! But still alarming.

I use Basses, too, and just set it to 0.7em, which is roughly as it was before. I am suspecting you somehow had it at 14em before, not sure why, though...

Yeah, it appears to have defaulted to that for some reason or other. PUZZLING.

I just hope future Bases users do not suffer the Attack of the Very Large Font, and all will be well.

I also have bases tropical and my read page is ginormous. My font size is set to 10.--and iI just managed to make that look normal by switching the *unit* from "em" to "pt."

O_o Looking at your code it seems to me your font size is currently set to 10em instead of the default 1em. Could it possible that you set it to 10px and that because a recent patch switched the unit to em for better accessibility, it kept the 10 but switched px to em? Have you checked at http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options?

Edit: Looks like we posted at the same time. Glad you figured it out. :)

OMG, thank you!

I have neuro issues and it threw me enough I couldn't figure out what was going on.

Again, thank you so much for pointing to the page with how to fix it.
