Website looks disproportionally huge on widescreen monitors

Open Renerick opened this issue 9 months ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug On a 21:9 monitor in full screen website elements look gigantic, since font size seems to be scaling to take the full width of the monitor. At full screen it's so large, it barely fits anything vertically and requires a lot of scrolling

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open https://rsms.me/inter/ on 21:9 monitor

Expected behavior Maybe a max-width worth a shot

Screenshots

Open them in full screen to see scale comparison.

Notice how tiny navbar looks:

Same fragment in a narrower window, looks much more reasonable (although I still would make the title smaller just a bit, but that's a matter of taste I suppose)

Image

At full width, barely 3 styles fit on the screen

Image

Narrow window comfortably fits 4 styles

Image

This is just too much

Also this

Again, for reference, a narrower window

Table cells are gigantic. This part takes forever to scroll through

Compare with

FAQ just does not fit

Much better in a narrower screen

Environment

  • OS: Windows 10
  • App that renders the font: Firefox
  • Version of font: N/A

Additional context Another unfortunate side effect of scaling font size with window width, is that resizing the window changes page height, and given how much font there is, it changes A LOT, which affects scroll position. It gets worse, the further down the page you go
