How to set min-font-size in CSS


I want to set a minimum font size to every element in my HTML page.

For example if there are elements with font-size less then 12px, then they will change to 12px.
But if there are elements with font-size grater then 12px, they will not change.

Is there any way to do it with CSS?


Solution

  • No. While you can set a base font size on body using the font-size property, anything after that that specifies a smaller size will override the base rule for that element. In order to do what you are looking to do you will need to use Javascript.

    You could iterate through the elements on the page and change the smaller fonts using something like this:

    $("*").each( function () {
        var $this = $(this);
        if (parseInt($this.css("fontSize")) < 12) {
            $this.css({ "font-size": "12px" });   
        }
    });
