Comment (by adamwill):

 robyduck: I visit a lot of Fedora websites, and I overrode it to 91%
 locally yesterday and they all look better to me.

 Felix was giving an extreme example, but I'm using a 1920x1080 22" monitor
 - that's 103dpi, almost the same as your laptop which is 100dpi, and it
 still looks damn small to me. I wouldn't say 'acceptable', I'd say 'just
 barely readable'.

 mrmazda: the stuff about densities only confuses the issue, which is why I
 was trying to avoid it. Especially since users and desktops know about
 density and try to compensate for it. If you leave it out of the question
 entirely and assume the 96dpi convention, you can just talk about
 equivalent point sizes - most people are comfortable with the concept of a
 9pt font on a 'normal' display, which is the equivalent of what we're
 displaying with a 76% setting if it is not overridden later.

 Yes, some Fedora sites fiddle with the sizes later, but I'd figure at
 least that the Wiki is one of the most commonly-visited sites, and it's
 badly affected by this. So is this domain itself.
