Teeny Tiny FONT! (Vanity)
Self ^ | Subterfuge

Posted on 10/28/2025 6:33:38 AM PDT by subterfuge

Am I the only one whose font size has shrunk to miniscule on 2 different devices? And nothing seems to fix it in my settings or my account settings. The forum is useless to me like this.

Bracing for finger pointing and ridicule.

Thanks Joe. I’m going to wait it out. Maybe make a donation when it starts working right. Ha.

One of my android phones acting strange. When I do a google search it defaults to HUGE fonts. I will try using a different search engine. Was told BY AI that it could be Google testing out stuff...yeah right....

Thank you so much! I searched for your recent post and could not find it. Saving this in notes for future reference since this is the 2nd time I’ve had this happen.

I, like the others, just started experiencing this issue yesterday. Thanks for the pointers, but it did not resolve the issue. It is frustrating, because before, I could double tap the phone screen and it would zoom in and the text would re-flow/wrap to stay on the screen. I can pinch and zoom, but it has also stopped doing the re-flow/wrap.

But I don’t want to zoom in and haven’t had to in 2 years. Today I suddenly have this problem and none of the suggestions here have fixed the problem.

on the PC, hit ctrl-plus (+).

ctrl-minus (-) will shrink the font.

ctrl-0 puts it back to the default size.

Should be under “Accessibility” on any phone. For iPhone, go to Settings > Accessibility > Display and Text. Then play around with the font sizes until you find what suits you. Can’t help with Android, but I would search the os for Accessibility or Text Size.

My phone did this exact same thing. It is a Samsung which is several years old, and long past the point where it will update Android anymore. I don’t know the cause of this, but it most certainly happened, though not because of Android.

To fix it, I hit the three dots at the upper right, went to Zoom, and set it to a percentage value which made it look the way it did normally. In my case that value is 150%. The text is now readable, and it wraps properly.

After you do this, you can verify by:
3 dots > Settings (located at or near the bottom of the list) > Accessibility > Saved zoom for sites

There you should see freerepublic.com along with the value you set.

It’s possible that the selections and menu items might be different on newer versions of Android and/or different phones. But this has definitely worked for me.
