Issue Report: 62.5% Font Size Scaling and Third-Party Compatibility

Hello,

The 62.5% font size trick is causing integration issues with third-party components that rely on rem for accessibility. Since these components use the browser’s default font-size, your scaling approach distorts their layout, breaking UI consistency.

As noted in this article, this method complicates integration with external libraries. Given your platform’s broad audience, would it be possible to reconsider this approach or offer an opt-out?

Looking forward to your thoughts.

This is going to be theme-specific. It’s not coming from the Ghost core, afaik.

Thank you, I have changed the category of this issue to point to “Themes”.

Would help to include the theme name, or your URL so people could help you with your specific issue also.

The theme in this case is Ghost. The Ghost theme should be the default theme used for every newly created website.

So do you mean “Source” as “Ghost” isnt a theme?
