Comment (by adamwill):

 mrmazda: you're spamming the bug again. please stop. when you post this
 much it just overwhelms people, it doesn't make them more eager to do what
 you're suggesting. I've filed the bug and I think explained the problem
 clearly.

 To take some points very briefly:

 I didn't mean most people were OK with *reading* a 9pt font, I meant most
 people were OK with the concept of *what a 9pt font is*. Saying "the
 current settings are basically displaying text at 9pt" is a clear and
 accurate-*enough* statement of the problem.

 When you bring density into the consideration it just makes things very
 messy very fast and complicates the discussion so much it's hard for
 anyone to be comfortable moving forwards. Doing so is hurting your case,
 not helping it.

 "DEs invariably do nothing WRT density"

 This is not true. GNOME/GTK+ are doing OS X-style resolution doubling
 stuff now. If the density is close enough to 192dpi you get doubled
 everything, you'd get another jump at each 96dpi increment after that,
 IIRC. This landed in F20. http://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2013/06/28/hidpi-
 support-in-gnome/

 "It does constitute an override of user determined optimum, whether one
 wants to characterize it as "universal" or not."

 You have the context wrong. I was talking about the perspective of the
 *site designer*, not the *user*, as we are talking to the site designer at
 present.

 "Again I lost all my work."

 It sounds like you should probably try composing things in a text editor
 and copy/pasting them into your browser...
