           Summary: UI text too small at high system DPI
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525.x (Safari 3.1)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: mrmazda at ij.net


On a 144 DPI system, the system menu text (CSS font-family: menu) used for the
app menus is 17px for apps like Firefox. Safari is arbitrarily assuming 96 DPI,
which makes its menu text only 13px. That's a net size (size is area, not
height) difference of (17^2 - 13^2) / 17^2 = (289 - 169) / 289  = -41.52% for
Safari UI text compared to other apps' UI text. The same impact applies on web
pages that size text in pt. Safari should at least via option if not by default
use the same "menu" text as other apps for its menus and dialogs.
