MiniDisc Hacking

  font-size: 2vw;

Got to be the most annoying way to set font size. Completely unreactive to page zoom, have to shrink the window to make text readable.

Use reader mode.

Decided to not read the website because of that.

Page is completely unreadable for me, too. What a stupid idea.

Is this a desktop browser issue? Here on Android neither Firefox nor Chrome make the text unreadable, and zoom works just fine for me.

Pinch-zooming works great, but cmd+ doesn't.

I see what you mean now. Not sure what's more infuriating, the weird hardcoded font size that doesn't get overridden by zooming, or the two methods of zooming in a browser view that seem to work entirely independent of each other.

Yeah, it obviously increases with screen width so wide screen definitely have an issue. Px is still the best.

Yes, only div sizes should be set as such. For font sizes px is the best option.

Hi there. I shall make changes to the style sheet soon. When I first published this page in 2006, I never encountered any issues or had any complaints about the font sizing until now. I had completely forgotten that I used 'vw' and in fact had to look up what it even did. I must've had my reasons at the time...

Anyway, thanks for bringing it to my attention!
