Has anyone else suffered from shrinkage? I mean shrinking fonts in the last day or so on fpgeeks.com only, not other websites?

Seems the same to me. Possibly something got bumped in your browser?

Damn if I can tell. I use a MacBook, and checked Safari's minimum font size and changed it from default to larger. But still, it's only FPGeeks; I suspect this website is haunted.

I suspect this website is haunted.

By Steve Jobs, apparently.

Ah, a MacBook. Yes, the whole Apple world is shrinking. Likely simply getting old and shriveled. It happens to apples.

And my brain. I think it's excess exposure to the internet.

Fred, check your magnification setting for the browser tab that you use for FPGeeks.

it's *very* easy to change the magnification without intending to using the touchpad (moved by brushing your palms accidentally).

I haven’t had a problem. Using an iPad.

No problem here running latest Safari update on a 2011 MacBook Pro.

You've all confirmed it. It's the computer's fault; never mine.

I found the culprit! Safari>Preferences>Websites> Page Zoom. Correct setting to 100% for FPGeeks (and make adjustment to other impacted website(s) as may be applicable)

Here was the solution:
- In ~/Library/Preferences there's usually a file named com.apple.safari.plist
- Quit Safari
- Move that file to the Desktop or trash
- Then restart the computer
- A new file will be created when Safari next runs



In later MacOS: use [Command]+ and [Command]-

That's worth knowing just in case. Thanks. :)

For those that use Windows-based computers "ctrl -" and "ctrl +" will shrink or expand your fonts depending on your needs.
