Minimum font sizes

[Swifty]

Opera has a Minimum Font Size setting, I have mine set to 10px.

Some fonts need to be 10px for me to be able to read them easily.
Other fonts are clearer to my eyes, so I could go down to 8px (I'm
typing this in Tahoma.8 for example).

Would it make sense for Opera to have an optional mechanism where I
could specify that my minimum font size for Tahoma is 8px (keeping my
existing 10px as default, for other fonts). (1)

What drives this request is that I have a page (for my own use) that
I'm displaying in Verdana.10
I'd like to display footnote references(2) in a smaller font, but that
gets blocked by my 10px minimum.

I've resorted to using a specific font where the numeral characters
are tiny (I know about the small 1,2,3 in most fonts, but I'm too
garrulous to be restricted to 3 footnotes)
