Text: Text size is a bit small

Created on 11 Jul 2019  路  5Comments  路  Source: nextcloud/text

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In a laptop with a 13.3" screen and 1080p resolution text is a bit tiny for my taste.

Describe the solution you'd like
A button opening viewer options like that in firefox:

Firefox-Reader-view

This way should be possible to customize font size, text width, row height and backgroud.

Thanks

We could also think about increasing the base font size in general. Currently it鈥檚 set to be the same as the Nextcloud interface font size, but possibly makes sense to increase the size there, especially on desktop.

Maybe it鈥檚 even good to base it on the screen size with vw/vh as we have the 80 characters width limit too.

Yes please. I can zoom in browser but then top panel and headings get too big. It'll be awesome to have an option to change font size

I'm not sure how popular it would be, but for me it is helpful to be able to change to a serif font (such as in the example menu in the original post), in addition to making adjustments to the font size, as I find it much easier to read through longer sequences of text in a serif typeface.

For the next version of Nextcloud (18) we increased the base font size from 12.8 to 14, so this should improve it already.

For the rest, the interface is perfectly zoomable with the browser zoom, that is also Ctrl+scroll or Ctrl+ +/-.

Putting in more configuration for font size or type would increase our testing matrix too much for our resources. But you could just change the font that is used with the Custom CSS app.

Sorry, didn鈥檛 see this was in Text and thought it was in the server core.

Reopening, but still we have other things with more priority and we need to see how to make this not a time sink of configuration. ;)
