The minimum size preference works perfectly for me.

Removing milestone, since it's misleading on the roadmap.

This problem still exists as of 1.2svn 20596.

I'll upload two images. One is the messagestyle preview in Adium, and the other is the preview as rendered by SubEthaEdit using webkit (and I see the same thing in Safari). The time is styled in css as "font-size: .5em;", so it should look much smaller than it does in Adium. (No, I wouldn't really want the time that small, but given the bug, I have it set that way so that the time doesn't get bigger until the font is set > 18pt.)

As another test you can, in Adium, set the minimum font size to 1pt, and then set messagestyle font to 1pt. It won't be that small, but if you step up the point size you can see that Adium limits the minimum font size to 9pt.

Personally, I'd prefer that Adium not set an arbitrary limit, and just let the use set it at some absurdly low value. But if nothing else, the minimum font size dropdown should at least reflect the 9pt limit that exists.

Just in case it helps, Colloquy has the same problem. Minimum size goes to 1, but it won't let text display <9pt.

  • version set to 1.2svn.
  • milestone set to Needs dev review.

Perhaps this is a webkit issue?

  • version changed from 1.2svn to 1.1.3.

I don't think it's a webkit issue. Subethaedit will let me render type (using webkit) as small as I want.

Incidentally, this has been around since webkit was introduced. I first reported it on the sourceforge bugtracker.

I'd imagine this is still around (?). Are you able to tell whether this has to do with webkit?

06/10/2008 04:16:53 PM changed by mathuaerknedam

I don't think it's webkit. Using safari I can render text well below 9 pt. I can do the same in smultron and subethaedit, both of which use webkit. The odd thing is that colloquy behaves the same as Adium, but I'm told they share no code.
