220325 - content pane text should be sized based upon prefs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Other Applications :: ChatZilla, defect)

Description

[Felix Miata]

URL shows some unexpected surprises in font sizes according to resolution, DPI,
and other settings, because content text in CZ is currently sized in points,
something our evangelizers tell webmasters they shouldn't be doing with web page
content. Point sizing is for print media, not display screens.

The only way currently for a user to make CZ text larger or smaller is via user
css, something few users are equipped to handle. Instead, CZ should size
relative to prefs, so that when the user changes his browser and mailnews text
sizes, CZ content size automatically changes right along with it.

This bug is not related to bug 104332, which is for making it easier for the
user to change CZ text size, though that bug may not need fixing once this one
is fixed.

I believe this is entirely covered by the checked-in patch in bug 112435. If
it's not, or it isn't entirely fixed, please reopen this bug.
