In mine, the viewer can see what the browser's default size is, and what the whole array of DE sizes are, so that the fonts in the web page can be see in the context of both the defaults, and the whole rest of the desktop. It could be reproduced by anyone who wished to, because context is adequate. The only thing it lacks is actual zoom level applied, which Firefox doesn't offer. The zoom level in fact is none (100% of the size dictated by page CSS), so the archive page is in fact displaying the 10px size dictated by the page's CSS. Your page provides only one context: the UI text in your browser. That frame of reference indicates you've applied several zoom levels to the page. Firefox by default remembers zoom levels by domain, so once you've been there and applied zoom, you shouldn't need to do it again until the site is restyled to use different sizes. The way the shot cuts off the top of the page, if negects to show the vast difference in font size between the "beautifully clear and highly legible" body fonts and the zoomed to gigantic page title fonts. If you revisit the page in a new browser with a new profile, or the same browser with a new profile, or reset the zoom level to none (Ctrl-0), you'll find the resulting fonts not so "beautifully clear and highly legible", probably to a size smaller than your tiny Firefox UI menu fonts. Browser zoom is a *defense* mechanism. Defenses are only needed in the context of offensive behavior. In the instant case, the offensive behavior is web page font sizing that *completely* disregards the optimum size pre-defined via the visitors' browser default size settings. It may be acceptable to people who only use one computer and one DE to have to ever apply zoom on any given page or domain, but they shouldn't have to. Those who use a lot of DEs and a lot of browsers won't have the luxury of having been to any every frequented page before and having zoom level remembered. There's no good reason for anyone to have had to apply zoom ever in the first place. Web pages don't need to be rude, as their creators do have tools that enable them to embrace user defaults to get the results they want. The instant case if it remains as it is will remain particularly perplexing, as the TDE main site CSS is one of the very unfortunately few places on web where rude styling is not in place, in stark contrast its mailing list archive. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
