What are your Epiphany default variable width and fixed width font sizes set
to? Other browsers that set those sizes in pt generally start at 12, but a
few use 11 or 10. Most others set sizes in px. Px settings do not depend on
DPI. Pt settings do.

Likely your problem involves DPI. The desktop and all apps don't necessarily
all use the same DPI. Check in Epiphany for the layout.css.dpi setting in URL
about:config. Default is -1, which usually is enough to avoid too small fonts
due to the browser. Load http://fm.no-ip.com/auth/Font/fonts-ptdemo.html and
see what DPI it reports; compare to same in other installed browsers. Open an
xterm and do 'xdpyinfo | grep dimensions; xdpyinfo | grep resolution; xrdb
-query | grep dpi; set | grep Xft.dpi' to see if all results are either equal
or null.

Report what you find to see what needs doing to fix it, if you don't find out
yourself first. If you fix it yourself, report back what you did.
