5. Font size is set to a specific pixel size on DU

We've just included a new option to increase that size -- if you go to My Stuff > Account Settings and select the "Large Fonts" option, it sets the basic font size (not including headers) to a slightly larger size.

This is independent from whatever you're doing in your device's settings. Those settings may or may not work to increase font size, depending on what site you're looking at.

Unfortunately I can't account for the thousands of different combinations of devices and configurations that people use, so I just have to make the site work as universally as possible. This means that if you've changed your device settings to something other than default, there's a possibility that you might get unexpected results...
