Okay, f$&k it. Calling this bug on them mobile Safari engineers. Only in iPhone portrait, everything I throw at enforcing the font-size get overridden with a value of 20px.

Despite the parental pre being cool…

and the code block actin' all cool when mobile Safari does not have the focus in the iPhone…

soon as it gains focus … 20 … f$&kin' … pixels…
