Hi folks,
Is there a way to restore the Safari 9 minimum font size setting in Safari 10? Zooming the entire page isn't as useful as increasing the minimum text size. To get back to the 18pt size I had previously I have to bump up to 150%, which increases all parts of the page, making it too big to render properly.
While minimum size certainly wasn't perfect, it was the best option in my low vision situation.
Rgds,
All of them
There are some workarounds via custom CSS, which you can find online.
I'm facing the same problem and have sent feedback to Apple. This borders on user-hostile behaviour, discriminating against people with weak eyesight, and appears to be an exercise in interface simplification gone mad.
My only solution was to go back to chrome until Apple decides to fix this.
As a work around try using Reader mode. It's the lined icon in the address bar when you hover the pointer over it.
There are already a number of threads on this after one day with Safari 10. It is a real problem. The Zoom feature IS NOT like font size. I just gave up as pages were unreadable and retired via Time Machine my old system Will avoid Mac Sierra till this is changed.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.
Good news! The method posted here http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/253665/specify-minimum-font-size-in-saf ari-10-0-macos-sierra works great.
