Comment (by adamwill):

 I think 76/82/91 is basically going up one size at each step, in effect
 (remember everything's ultimately gotta wind up as a whole number of
 pixels, still assuming our 16px default / 96dpi conventions). 91 might be
 'a bit big' for some people, yes. It's really a very squishy area...do you
 make the default on the larger side and tell people who like it small to
 zoom out, or make default on the smaller side and tell people who can't
 read it to zoom in? Ehhhh. If you want to be conservative kicking it up to
 82% is a smaller change for sure.

 As we just saw on IRC, fedoraproject.org front page itself is actually a
 rather good example, as it's using Cantarell, which tends to render
 somewhat smaller than most fonts, exacerbating the effect. All the 'body'
 text in Cantarell on fp.o - see the front page, or
 http://fedoraproject.org/en/about-fedora#freedom for a really clear
 example - is pretty small.
