With the "NC white Background" style in effect, the font used for the subject (and for some other elements) seems disproportionately small compared to the fonts for the other elements.
Many users will not experience this, as in their browsers they may have either settings:
• To use their own established fonts rather than those prescribed by the page being viewed, or
• To enforce a minimum font size (which will, in typical circumstances, "bring up" the point size of the problematical elements on this forum).
But neither of these is handsome for general use. For example, the "minimum point size" setting will often cause disruption to the layout of a page as larger-than-intended font renderings make various text elements overflow their containers. (Sometimes, the containers will expand to accommodate this, thus obscuring important element on the page.) For example, I cannot navigate the B&H pages with a reasonable "minimum point size" in effect. (And it was in fact the B&H Webmeister who called my attention to the cause of this.)
I suggest the font size setting for the subject line for the NC white Background style be made compatible with those for the other NC style variants.
Interestingly enough, the three variants of the "NC" style don't actually seem to have any other differences. For example, the "black text" style does not put into effect black text (at least on my browser), and the background is always white (despite the intimations of the style names).
Thus, I can completely overcome the problem reported with respect to subject lines here by just choosing one of the styles other than "NC white Background".
So maybe one "peculiarity" provides the cure for another.
But other elements (such as button labels) are still "too small".
