Remove UI for minimum font size setting
Last modified: 2011-03-09 20:47:54 UTC
Our current understanding of the whole font size mess is that this preference does more harm than good, since it very frequently breaks the layout of web pages. We should set it 0, remove it from the UI, and let the user control the text with the new font size preferences and/or zooming. For those that prefer big fonts with broken layouts, we leave the gsetting where it is, so it can always be changed through dconf.

Created attachment 182932 [details] gmail broken with 0 min font size I agree, but there are some ugly bugs if we do this. Try gmail with 0 or 1 as minimum font size (attached)

What Diego is seeing is related to his font size pref, so we'll address that separatedly. Pushed the change to master, will be in the next release.
