Why is the text on the page so small?

Answer:

Make sure that you have copied over the "locales" folder from the SDK into your executable's directory. This is the most common cause of this problem.

If that doesn't fix it-- in some rare cases WebKit has trouble determining the Operating System's base text size (the global stylesheets try to inherit from OS defaults).

A good fix for this is to use WebCoreConfig.customCSS to force the base text size to be 11px:

config.customCSS = "body { font-size: 11px !important; }";
