Avoid fine print.

We should not use 12px font size to avoid agism in design. At age 40, eyesight is about half as good as it did at age 20. I changed all font sizes to be at least 14px.

Loving the new homepage by the way! 🎉

i like the spirit of this PR, and would be happy to make changes to the font size, but i'd like to review these specific cases to see if there is a reason we've bumped the text size down. would be great to include screenshots of the ui that these rules affect. we may also want to get rid of these custom font-size rules and rely on the base font size that is set in bootstrap.

looks like our base font size is 14px, so if we could just remove these rules altogether to get to 14px.

Excited to hear!

Happy to share screenshots internally

• font size of table on home page
• font size of table in sqllab
• font size of tooltips in sqllab
• font size of optional description at top of a dashboard slice

There is more fine print that I haven't caught yet like the buttons and partition info in sqllab. You can do the following to preview how a 14pt website would look like

• Visit settings
• Click advanced link
• Click customize fonts button
• Change minimal font size slider to 14

This is been open for a while, closing for now. For me hitting Command-+ is an easy way to adapt the font size.
