           Summary: Wrong font size calculated on google.com
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.google.com/
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: me at jasonclinton.com


Some pages have different font sizes than are expected. For example, go to
Google's home page, right click "Advertising Programs", click Inspect Element.
Click Computed Style -> Show Inherited. In Epiphany/Webkit font-size value is
15px. In Google Chrome, it's 13px. Firefox agrees with Chrome. This breaks some
UI's that rely on lots of text flowing in a particular way; in rare instances,
GMail, for example.

In the Google home page example, one level up from the <a> element is a <font>
tag with size="-1". There is where the inherited value of 13px should come
from.

Changing the desktop DPI to force 96 DPI can help get the value closer to the
correct value in Epiphany/Webkit but it is still not quite correct.
