[Reply](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2015Sep/0001.html) from 千葉 淳一 (Chiba Junichi): > I noticed the same thing you mentioned while I was making a ruby sample. A pair of Kanji with mono-ruby (two hiragana each) happened to have an extra space between the ruby base characters due to the browser's minimum font size. > > The rendering with an extra space was not what I expected. > > > I guess that user agents should probably ignore the minimum font size setting for ruby text elements and their descendents. And this might be worth a mention in the spec. > > I agree. > The minimum size should not work for the ruby characters because of its original purpose: > provide phonetic annotation using "ruby" sized typeface (smaller font size than the body elements). > > > One thing I'm concerned is that, ignoring this setting on certain elements effectively opens a door to authors to completely escape from it, which might also be unfortunate. > > One suggestion to keep the door small enough is to define the minimum size for ruby separately. > I believe 50% of the minimum body size set by the user agent is one reasonable min value, regarding that the current draft mentions "typically sized to 50% when used as annotations". > It shall be 30% for bopomofo. Or 30% for Japanese too, because somebody may want to put three hiragana for one base without adding spaces to the base characters. > > I wonder if there are other doors we should be aware of. -- GitHub Notification of comment by upsuper Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1917#issuecomment-340310408 using your GitHub account
