Minimum font size for East Asian Characters no longer needed for mobile Chrome

Reported by trek...@gmail.com, Apr 12 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Set charset to utf-8
2. Set font-size to smaller than 12px (or equivalent)
3. View the page in mobile Chrome

What is the expected behavior?
Expect the font size to render smaller than 12px but it does not.

What went wrong?
Removing -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; from Chrome to make sure east Asian fonts will always rendered readable was fine 15 versions ago, but now mobile Chrome has adapted the same viewport resizing like mobile Safari, 12px or smaller Chinese font in Chrome is very large, and more than readable, especially on phones with larger screens. Please either remove this limitation or set the minimum to 9px or something close to it.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 49.0.2623.110  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

Are you specifying a mobile viewport like so?
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

This disables the autosizer and should reflect exactly what you specify in css. We're working on implementing text-size-adjust none as well, but meta viewport works today.

webkit-text-size-adjust: none; has been added back to Chrome. This is available today in Chrome Canary, will be available in ~1 month in Chrome Beta on Android, and will roll out to everyone in ~6 weeks.
