Re: Allowing font size changes

> If you think it's the web content author's job to patch up hidden/insufficient functionality of browsers on tablets/smartphones, then sure, adding a custom in-page tool for text resizing is the way to go. Personally, I tend to think it's the responsibility of UA developers to provide functionality like that to their users (e.g. https://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG20/#g-1-4)

I agree that this should be a UA thing. I’m merely asking if such a functionality is available in tablets, smartphones, etc. For example, iOS offers a Text Size option under Display settings in settings.app, but that doesn’t translate to web content. I’m not familiar with any option on any mobile platform that offers such a functionality (text size for web content). 

I skimmed 1.4, but that doesn’t seem to say whether text should be scaled independently from he layout. In other words, is page zoom equal to text scaling?
