RE: for info: how DWP approached Easy Read

In considering SC 1.4.8 Visual Presentation, specifically “Text can be resized without assistive technology up to 200 percent in a way that does not require the user to scroll horizontally to read a line of text on a full-screen window<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#dfn-on-a-full-screen-window>” how would the implementation of Easy Read interact with this particular SC?

this made me wonder if we should suggest Easy Read more firmly in our Patterns?

what do people think?
