Re: Add Font Family back to adaptation

Hi Wayne,
I’m afraid resolution is irrelevant to this conversation, the mechanism for changing layout at the page level is completely different to whether text can expand within the widget-containers.
We’re asking for 300-400% times flex at the page level, but asking for menus, buttons etc. to have 20% flex within their containers is a completely different thing.
You said:

That is basically what the bookmarklet I made does:
$("*").css('font-family', '"Verdana"');
For those not on github, I created a test page to show how big an increase in percentage terms the letter-spacing creates:
https://alastairc.ac/tests/letter-spacing.html

Letter spacing of even just 0.05em increases the width of words by over 10%.
I think going beyond that will either need to be applied only to blocks of flowing text (however we define that), or it could shunted to Silver / personalisation.
Cheers,
