| Sep 21, 2016 at 21:50 | comment | added | 2oh1 | I asked a specific question. I understand you're trying to help, but if your answers aren't answering the specific question that was asked, they're not helpful. Generic answers about trying CSS, for example, are vague and not helpful. I'd already thought of that and researched it - including here on stack exchange. I came up empty, which is why I asked my question here. I'm not trying to make fonts bigger. I'm trying to find a way to set a minimum font size in Safari on macOS Sierra. | |
| Sep 21, 2016 at 21:31 | comment | added | Monomeeth♦ | I do appreciate your point and how specific your question is :) but many users are looking for an answer, not just users of Sierra (Safari 10 is also an update independent of macOS). I know my answer isn't the most ideal solution (hence me calling them 'workaround options') but I've posted it because it may be useful to others. For what it's worth, I've submitted feedback to Apple about this on the basis of accessibility (they have a soft spot for providing accessibility options). They need to bring this option back to Safari, but we must tell them. | |
| Sep 21, 2016 at 18:46 | comment | added | 2oh1 | My question is specific. I'm asking how to set a minimum font size in Safari for macOS Sierra. I appreciate the reply, but it doesn't answer my specific question. If anything, it would make matters significantly worse by scaling all fonts. | |

Updated answer to indicate how to edit the style sheet to apply to all elements on the page. Also added link to Safari feedback.

I'm not 100% sure. You could try the Stylish extension and set it to apply globally to all sites and see what happens by default. If it doesn't work the way you want, you could try editing the CSS using an asterisk (which implies all elements). For example: * { font-size: 100%; font-family: Arial; } Of course, you would substitute the size and font for what you wanted. Let me know if this works and I'll edit my answer for the benefit of others.

| Sep 21, 2016 at 4:46 | comment | added | 2oh1 | The problem with those solutions is they both rely on CSS, and to the best of my knowledge is that there's no way to specify a minimum font size for any and or all elements... or is there? I'm already using a custom stylesheet for Safari, so if there's a way to force a minimum font size, please do tell! | |
