Problems with font-size? Check your zoom
This exercise is particularly sensitive to browser zoom settings. If you’re having trouble with your font sizes, reset your browser’s zoom by pressing Cmd-0 or Ctrl-0.

Answer 51a51f6de08dae33a7000a57
Hey, try this…
irrespective of which ever browser you use just change the minimum font size form settings.
In my case its chrome(settings>show advanced settings>web content>customize fonts> minimum font size to 10px).
This works!!!

I tried everything I can’t seem to get past it. Code Academy is onto something really great here - I hope they fix the little things.

I am having the same problem, using google chrome, I am frustrated >:-0
Answer 513d35683974ea8d27003b4d
If any of you are using a Mac, in Safari’s preferences there is an option under “Advanced” that says “Never use font sizes smaller than” with a drop-down box. You must disable this so the font is able to be smaller that 9 (which is the smallest allowable setting). I struggled with this lesson for half an hour before I somehow remembered this setting.
Answer 513d7668c0d160387a00502c
I encountered this issue and I I have a question about this. Is this a “bug” in the HTML interface? Is i a browser issue? or is it something odd about the HTML interface used on this site? It seems logical that the HTML font size attribute shouldn’t be at all affected by what my zoom level is at in my browser. Does anyone know WHY this issue comes up?
Answer 513e530c7540a9fa3e0005b4
I had the same problem, but then again I checked all the solutions (in my browser both Firefox and Chrome, under settings I checked my minimal font size, I zoomed and re-zoomed and still nothing. Then I saw the post Linda gave actually the right answer for exercise 2.3 for the colour (I compared the whole code with mine and, at first didn’t saw any difference but when I checked line by line and sign by sign I saw the difference and this actual difference in the code helped me pass all other exercise. So once more, check your code line by line and sign by sign. For now I will not tell you were was my mistake - of course I am not guarantee that this was the solution why I passed but it might be. But for me read the post and check with my codes gave me the answer - and this time the correct one.
Answer 513f3ccee222b8b99e0055b5
I ended up just skipping this section, the font size worked the first time ..I had a colon(:)instead of (-), then the next section, which had no errors would not let me pass. I have tried all the suggestions and even noticed, when using chrome, if you zoom in or out, and submit, it tells you the size of the font. If you zoom smaller (the size gets bigger) and vice versa but never hits on the mark. To save my sanity, I moved to the next section after 20 minutes.

copy and paste from the recap—remove the color code, then change the font sizes and font type..walahh!
Answer 51405de971e171d3af003fe2
(the browser for me : chrome)
first go to your browser’s advanced settings and then choose the smallest size of fonts then, use a space between your (:) and your number (16px) and then try some other sizes around 16px! it’ll work. like this : (font-size: 17px) I did it , and it worked. I hope it’ll be helpful to you too bro.

i TRIED THE ADVABCED SEETING OPTION AND DID AS U SAID BUT IT DOESN’T WORK FOR ME SADLY :(
Or me either.

I know that’s not a logical way , sorry , I just wrote this in hope of a probable help…

Thanks,I done it
Answer 5144871ca1e7e0b0b6005abd
I tried everything. 3 different browsers: chrome (my standard), safari, and firefox and I played games with all of the settings including the cmd zoom options and editing the advanced text settings in each browser and nothing helped. So one please message me when they have found a complete solution.

well just try by writing “font-size: 10px” instead of “fontsize: 10px”. It worked foe me :)
Answer 51463baf5c73ab13b30009aa
I tried all of these things and none of them worked. No matter what I tried, zoom, browser settings, different sizes close to the size called for in the exercise, etc. I kept getting the error “It looks like you used size 32 instead of 16”.
Finally, I realized I used color= instead of color:
Whoops! Hopefully my mistake will help someone else!
Answer 514761fc8706f28320000ced
OK, my results seem to be correct. However, it still says my first paragraph seems to have a font size of 9 instead of 10. Please help.
Answer 514aa0f25052062ad3000fbb
In addition to zoom, the exercise is also sensitive to minimum font sizes. Check your browser settings.
Answer 514b4415a386d465780007e5
try “font-size” instead of “fontsize”. It worked for me finally :)
Answer 51506af73f614f388c0008f7
The correct way of doing this is to remove the original bracketed p from the front and make sure that the closing one after the code for the size is removed.

That’s so weird. yeah it doesn’t show up at all in results page but says it’s correct when I submit it.
ahh….it works.thanks a lot.
This worked for me, but I’m not sure if this is a browser issue or not, but hey we all have to get pass this lesson somehow.
Removing the opening paragraph tags definitely allows you to pass the exercise however the expected output is completely thrown off without the use of them.
Helped me so much =[] Thanks!
yep this worked for me too. thank you it was so frustrating lol
It’s so amazing ! Thanks !
perfect, thanks
awesome it worked
Removing the tags did it for me, as well. Weird..
Nice it works for me too, thanks Jon
Worked for me. Codeacademy please have a look at this exercise and try to fix this bug. Its incredibly annoying and throws you completely off rhythm. Btw, I tried the whole ctrl-0 thing and didn’t work. Using Firefox.
Works great. Thanks!
@jon, thank you man. that was awesomely the weirdest fix ever!!! thank you again. I used on font-family and it worked!!
Thank you sir. You deserve a cookie.

Haha, You’re brilliant! I was trying things out for awhile now! Like 3 minutes really when i decided to come here, Thank you so much.
Thanks it really works!
Paragraph tags? Please explain, I’m not the smartest at coding, sorry :(
