> As someone who uses various methods of zooming text and content of pages every single day, I never want to “make text bigger”. I want to access content by increasing the size of small texts, usually paragraphs. I just finished a research project on personalization and accessibility (under review) and _the_ most common action taken by people who are considered low vision is to customize text size. Inability to change text size is a pretty significant barrier for many people. [Meta-analysis research from 2020](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214109X20304253) estimates that around 600 million people worldwide would be considered on the spectrum of "low vision" to blind, which was roughly 8% of the world population in 2020. These numbers are expected to grow, due to compounding socio-economic factors, by 2050. This isn't just a small slice of people. -- GitHub Notification of comment by frankelavsky Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2528#issuecomment-2770953200 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
