Q: How do I adjust the FONT SIZE on Safari 10?
I'm using OS X 10.11.6, and I just downloaded Safari 10.0. It seems to have replaced the "minimum font size" with a "zoom" function; but there's a big problem: If I make the font size as large as I prefer, the page runs off the screen; if I make the page zoom optimal, the font is too small! So I have to either squint at the text, or keep sliding back and forth to see the whole page. This is annoying and stupid. Isn't there a way to adjust the font size ALONE?
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

I agree that this is annoying and stupid, especially for Apple, who are usually excellent at providing accessibility features for users. Looking online, I found a solution though. Enter the following into terminal:
defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2MinimumFontSize -int 14
Replace the number 14 at the end with whatever you want your minimum font size to be. Then restart safari.
