Description:
Epiphany's default font size is 7, so fonts look too small on webpages. In all browsers in windows, mac OSX, and all other browsers that i've used besides epiphany in Linux, size 12 seems to be the standard.

You should have epiphany ship with a size 12 font setting instead of 7.


Additional info:
* package version: 2.30.3-1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Just install epiphany or gnome and fonts will look small in epiphany. It is especially noticeable for anyone coming from any other browser, especially windows. It surprised my eyes.
This task depends upon

Which font size is best depends on the font, monitor, personal preferences, etc.
We should simply ship upstream's defaults and let each user adapt it to their needs, don't you agree?

Raising the minimum font size breaks a lot of websites, since some websites want to have smaller fontsizes than 12 points. Firefox also specifies no minimum font size either. The default font size is taken from the GNOME font configuration by default.

I'm for sticking with upstream defaults too.
Please report the problem to Epiphany devs.
