Some font-size's rendered larger on Safari (iPhone)

Are there CSS or other reasons why Safari/iPhone would ignore s开发者_开发问答ome font-size settings? On my particular website Safari on the iPhone renders some font-size:13px text larger than font-size:15px text. Does it maybe not support font-size on some elements?

Joe's response has some good best practices in it, but I think the problem you're describing centers around the fact that Mobile Safari automatically scales text if it thinks the text will render too small. You can get around this with the CSS property -webkit-text-size-adjust. Here's a sample of how to apply this to your body, just for the iPhone:

@media screen and (max-device-width: 480px){
  body{
    -webkit-text-size-adjust: none;
  }
}

Use 100% instead of None.

normalize.css includes this

Also, make sure you are setting the initial zoom setting to 1 in your viewport meta tag:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0;" />

Also check if you don't have a "width/height" set to the elements you're manipulating, Safari gives sizing precedence over font size in svg's, Chrome and FF don't, it seems, currently at least.

I had the same problem, turns out in the original CSS there was this line:

-webkit-text-size-adjust: 120%;

I had to change it to 100%, and everything was smooth. No need to change all px to em or %%.
