No, both are equivalently unreadable. (Believe me, as my eyes have aged, I know!). If the user has increased the text size, it is because it is functionally necessary . And while I would prefer that the captions not obscure important on-screen information, I would take that possibility over not having the captions functionally available at all.

Remember this is an idea only for a potential fallback scenario if, otherwise, the text would not fit on the screen, and therefore certainly be functionally unavailable.

If this idea offers no benefit, how would you prefer this scenario to be handled?

Kind regards,

Nigel
