Hi ཕུར་བུ་ཚེ་རིང་,
unfortunately this report is not very useful because it does not describe the problem well. If you have time and can still reproduce the problem, please read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug and add a more useful description to this report by providing exact steps to reproduce, for example which browser and version you use, and which URL. Attaching a screenshot (that does not display confidential data) is also very welcome.

this two image are Common.css of tibetan wikipedia.org and dzongka wikipedia.
both bo.wikipedia.org and dz.wikipedia share same font. but tibetan wikipedia got problem with common.css, which make tibetan looks very small.

Comparing https://bo.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css and https://te.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B0%AE%E0%B1%80%E0%B0%A1%E0%B0%BF%E0%B0%AF%E0%B0%BE%E0%B0%B5%E0%B0%BF%E0%B0%95%E0%B1%80:Common.css I don't see a big difference in fontsize, using Firefox 27 and default zoom.

User scripts, user CSS and gadgets are local features and managed on wiki. Bugzilla is used for MediaWiki or extensions features or server configuration.
Hence this request is unfortunately out of scope for Bugzilla.

Please ask the technical community, for example on bo.wikipedia.org or on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29

Actually I submitted few screenshot and Description detail, I don't know whether you look over there carefully or not. because of these css are not written precise. Also you can't compare with your telugu wikipedia css. these two font got totally different characteristic, if you got knowledge about other language, like chinese or korean, other than latin font, you can also take example from hindi, they interface was combine from many complex script, if you don't have idea about language and its font usability, I think you should let other technician work over it, who have good knowledge language interface.

If you look at items on left side and top right side, its incredibly small. for you its doesn't matter much, because you don't have good knowledge about different languages. when editing Wikipedia article, we are coding every line with <big> but its can't solve problem for all command and its damn hard to read articles inside wikipedia.

I will state here few of own tibetan website as example, how much it size should need for easy reading. http://tibetcm.com/, http://www.tibetitw.com/article/info/, http://ti.tibet3.com/,

so hope you got idea about different languages, all language can't read on small font, chinese font need bigger than english font, these two font can't compare each other as example.

I did look at your links, but Bugzilla would not be the place to receive help for on-wiki custom CSS fixes. At least that's how I interpreted your comments so far - sorry in case that your request was something else.

Could you please provide comparative screenshots for both bo and dz, including the web addresses for these two screenshots, plus browser information (web browser and version)?
Does any of bo or dz have webfont delivery from the Wikimedia servers enabled?

I'd need to be able to reproduce the problem, following clear and exact steps that you provide, to be able to create exactly the same environment under which you see the problem. Currently it's unclear to me how to reproduce the problem.

So the only idea that would be server configuration related (and hence something for Bugzilla) would have is changing the delivered webfont, but I don't know if it's enabled.

Whoops, sorry for posting the link to Telugu. Not sure what went wrong.

Comparing
https://dz.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css and
https://bo.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css
I'm not sure what your request is.
Changing some default text zoom level somehow, unrelated to Common.css?
Asking for help how to change Common.css on bo.wp?
