Weird font resizing - reactive design

This discussion thread was locked by EarlG (a host of the DU4 Bug Reports forum).

The text under the photograph gets really small - almost to the point of non-readability right before the various reactive changes resulting from the browser change. Not sure what you can do - just pointing it out.

Forgot - MacBook Pro - Ventura (latest); Chrome - Latest.

Unfortunately there's nothing that can be done about that EarlG Dec 2022 #1
Yeah - figured it was a relative thing and the start point was not great Lithos Dec 2022 #2

It's not font resizing -- the text is part of the image. Images on DU4 shrink down as the browser window shrinks (so they don't extend outside the viewport and force the user to scroll horizontally), so if text is included in that image, it will shrink as well.

If the text is already small to start with, it will unfortunately become unreadable. The problem is that there's no way to treat text that's part of an image differently from the rest of the image.

So perhaps the original source was similarly small font?
