Launchpad itself

Launchpad font is far too small

Asked by mycae

The new font size is far too small. I cannot read it, and I have reasonably good eyesight. I have had to disable CSS on launchpad entirely, as answering questions in this forum is now an exercise in squinting, or cutting and pasting into a text editor.

In your browser preferences, Edit/preferences content tab, advanced button, select a minimum font size instead of the default of "none".

You can also achieve a one-time (i.e. nonpersistent, but repeatable) increase the font size on any page by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Plus (press that more than once to increase it even more), and decrease it by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Minus. This works in nearly all graphical browsers, including Firefox and Chromium.

If you believe that Launchpad would be better off with a bigger font size (like it used to have), you may want to report this as a bug in "Launchpad itself" (https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad).

Can you help with this problem?
