Font Sizer: reader-friendly text and interface size controls

Karl

Accessibility-focused font-size controls for your forum. Members adjust the reading text size and the interface size from a button in the header, and their choice is remembered. As an admin, you set the sitewide defaults from the extension settings.

Several of my other extensions follow this reading-size setting too, so text stays consistent across the forum.

Install: composer require linkrobins/font-sizer, then enable it in the admin Extension Manager (or install it straight from Packagist there).

Font Sizer v1.4.1 is out. Full notes: https://github.com/linkrobins/font-sizer/releases/tag/v1.4.1

A maintenance release with nothing you'll notice; the shipped code is byte-for-byte the same as v1.4.0. The source is now auto-formatted with CI on every change, and the composer details were updated so it installs cleanly on Flarum 2.0 release-candidate builds.

Updates

Font Sizer v1.5.0 is out: set your own base text sizes.

The settings page now has three "Base Text Sizes" inputs: post text, small text, and titles, in pixels. If your theme's font looks too small at Flarum's standard sizes (common with serif fonts), raise these numbers and the whole forum follows, no Custom CSS needed. Changes apply to everyone right away, the font size button keeps working as before and scales on top of what you set, and a live preview shows the effect as you type. Leave the settings at their defaults and nothing changes.

Theme authors can also set the same sizes as CSS variables (--lr-text-base, --lr-text-small, --lr-text-title) from Custom CSS.
