On: I’m Sick of Tiny, Tiny Type

[wamatt]

While I too dislike small fonts, I'm particularly rageful of web designers that force this on the user using -webkit-text-size-adjust:none; [1]

That bit of CSS will prevent Chrome and Safari from allowing the text to be resized at all.

The Facebook Social Comments plugin is one such occurrence, but I see it all over the web.

i didn't even know about this CSS function. It's so stupid, unbelievable.

I can only imagine all those Designers that don't want to get their "stunning" designs getting destroyed.

I suspect (but am too lazy to research) that it's intended for captions on buttons and similar non-content elements. Seems reasonable in that context.

Why is the button not growing when I can't read the caption instead?

If you're facebook and provide a Like Button, that makes "total sense".
