Reassign to hyatt.  severity major, and this is certainly a regression.

Seeing this on a Linux build from 2001-07-17

Er, what regression? I'm not saying that override of font size isn't useful, 
particularly for those sites that insist on teeny-tiny fonts, but that testcase
displays the same[1] in trunk, branch, and a June, April and March build 
(chosen randomly) on Linux (and on win32). Face/font-family can be overridden,
but not size (and that's the way it is in 4.x too).

[1] well, actually in older builds there was no floor on font-size, and 2px 
was invisible in those builds, but the other letters all have the same height
in March that they do in the current trunk.

I was sure font-size used to work.... Maybe I'm just really confused.  If so, my
apologies to John for asking him to file it.

Comment 5

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Just checked with 4.x and a smattering of old Moz builds and you're right.  That
checkbox does not affect size in those either....

I suck.  My apologies for all the noise.

Reassigning to default style system owner, severity to enhancement.  We should
be able to disable all page-imposed font-size changes as well as the font-face
changes, and I think we should be doing that.

So much for filing bugs when tired....  John, my apologies for asking you to
file this, as I said.

I'm /very/ glad this got filed, as I am quite surprised (understatement)
that this wasn't a major issue in the first place. ctrl-+ is /not/ a
solution for these unreadable pages. I've voted for this, I sincerely
hope it won't get futured or whatever.

Boris' suggestion from [2001-07-17 22:18] is a dup of bug 30910.
