Ggoogle search pages and Blogger's "create new post" pane have teeny tiny font sizes. How do I normalize them?

Google's search results page has a font that is miniscule compared to other pages.

I have tried adjusting the font in the tools>options>content>advanced with no change. I've also tried resetting the view>zoom feature to no avail.

Blogger's "create new post" pane had an even smaller font, if that's possible.

So far the tiny font phenomenon seems to only affect Google pages, though *not* my iGoogle page.

Any help would appreciated :) Thank you!

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)


You can use one of these extensions to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:

Thank you both for your replies. I have tried both solutions but have not had the problem solved.

Going to the page and zooming until the search results font is the proper size creates a giant font to the static text on the Google search page to the left, to the point of it over-writing the other text and even the search box.

I tried resetting the zoom on the blogger page as well, with the same effect. I'm attaching an image with side by side comparisons to show you what's happening.

Is there anything else I can try? :(

On the Google site font-size: small is specified, so that should explain the tiny font in the results

Cor-el, Is there any way to change that? Thanks in advance

You can do that with a custom stylesheet in userContent.css or with the Stylish extension.


@-moz-document
 domain(google.com) {
body, body * { font-size: 1em !important; }
}

You can add more domains to use that rule by adding the domains as a comma separated list like

domain(google.com), domain(blog.com)
