Mobile browsers do play with font sizes a bit.

Web designers can be a bit sloppy by specifying fonts in pixels. Not thinking that the 1080p screen might only be 4.5"

It's a common issue on Chrome Beta for Android. If I use regular Chrome the DS forums would display fine, that is until this latest forum redesign chopped the right hand side of text off my screen.

It's not just chrome beta, chrome too.


The forum is fine now.

it's just a quirk of mobile browsers.

Yeah that happens to me too on a lot of internet forums, haven't figured out why.

Most mobile browsers enlarge the blocks of text to make it easier to read without having to zoom in. I have found that putting the phone is landscape reduces the problem. It can be turned off in the stock browser by unchecking "Text booster" in Menu > Settings > Accessibility.
