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?

    "If you move the cursor to the edge, the rest of the page slides into view. This can be changed in System Prefs>Accessibility>Zoom then click options. You can set it so the page moves around with the cursor."

     

    That's good to know, but you still end up with a page too big for the screen. If you're not bothered by that, isn't it easier just to use [command]+ to zoom the page - or for that matter, just use the two-finger "unpinch" gesture, which allows precise control of size, has no effect on page layout, and can be done on the fly without using the keyboard? (Certainly more effective than the one-finger gesture I've been using towards Safari these last few days.)
