Make Text Bigger in Safari, but Not That Much Bigger?

Command-+ in Safari will make everything in a Safari web page bigger, and Command-option-+ will make text bigger, generally too big. Is there anyway to set the text to a particular zoom level, or to increment it by a smaller amount?

In the Safari -> Preferences -> Websites -> Page Zoom page, you can set 11 different zoom levels using fixed percentage values, but there doesn't appear to be a way to enter a different value than those 11 choices.

Hey @Flash,

Safari supports custom style-sheets:

You'll have to know (or learn) some CSS to make use of the feature, but sophisticated manipulation of the page should be possible.

It looks like those zoom levels are the same as you get with Command-option-+; for forum.keyboardmaestro.com, for instance, one keystroke raised the percentage in that setting to 115%.

For most sites, I’ve had better luck with a combination of Safari’s Advanced/Never Use Font Sizes Smaller Than setting and TinkerTool’s settings. But a significant minority of sites need individual adjustment, and I hope that there is a real number somewhere controlling it. (To be continued…)

Safari supports custom style-sheets:

I’ve actually been using one since 2006 (http://pobox.com/~flash/flashlocal.css), and it usually works well for enforcing proper paragraphing and eliminating spurious line breaks between paragraphs (below). But the font-size (and font-family) stuff (also below) worked so rarely that I stopped paying attention to it. font[size="1"] and friends do suggest that there is a small set of integers in control, rather than a real number.

P {text-indent: 1em ! important; margin-bottom: 0 ! important; margin-top: 0 ! important; 
padding-bottom: 0 ! important; padding-top: 0 ! important; }

font[size="1"] {
font-size: 11pt ! important;

}…
