Chromium doesn't respond to text scaling
Hello, I'm using Chromium 32 under Gnome 3.10 with Infinality, and can't get Chromium to respond to changes in DPI (The fonts are too small). I have a 10.6" 768p display at 135 native DPI. The Chromium font settings panel only reliably allows for setting a lower limit on font size, and allows web pages to override the other user settings; setting this lower limit causes certain problems with website appearance and proportions. I've tried setting DPI via dconf, gnome-tweak-tool, xrandr, Xft (both locally and in the Infinality config file), Xorg conf (as both DPI and screen size), and fontconfig (both globally and locally), as well as starting Chromium with the flag --enable-high-dpi=1. Only dconf and tweak-tool evoke a response -- Gnome and Xorg apparently have built-in overrides for anything else -- but the text-scaling and window-scaling options in dconf do not affect Chromium. Also of interest is the fact that the text on Chromium's tabs is fixedly undersized and does not respond to Infinality rendering preferences: where the rest of Chromium's fonts are rendered dark, heavy, and smooth, the fonts in the tab-markers are rendered as thin, weak, and of inconsistent shading. This leads me to believe that Chromium partly ignores Linux font configuration settings. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Is there a workaround? Thanks!

Re: Chromium doesn't respond to text scaling
hi,
the font size in the tab-marker is hardcoded:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issu … ?id=146291
however for me set the page zoom to 125% in chromium settings make the web page readable,
maybe a real solution will land with aura ui (chromium 34):
