<span class="quote">> We decided to use pixels to maintain consistency with other WebKit ports.</span >
It's tangential to this bug report, but this is something we should reconsider at the hackfest. Other ports are just wrong; the status quo is that apps using WebKit are all broken on hidpi unless the application copies a bunch of confusing boilerplate font size code out of Epiphany. We're sharing it in a bunch of GNOME apps now, but most apps don't have it and are broken. We need a simple font size setting that works independently of screen resolution, and should deprecate the current setting because it is too difficult to use properly.</pre>
