Ok, this is fair. This is actually an aspect of accessibility that’s often not talked about I’d say, but won’t you agree that if we’re talking about the web, this is actually a case of “reverse discrimination”? Blind people would in theory be able to read the ruby; low-vision people would be able to use zoom; it’s people with “normal” vision (and won’t/can’t use zoom) that’s impacted.

Half of 12pt (not really the size of normal “print” on the web) is 6pt. It’s quite well below the threshold of legibility. I’d totally agree that taller ruby would be more legible.
