reasonable request. a thought experiment applies to every page with varying font size. imagine: o the smallest font you can read is 4mm high o the largest font is 4cm high o the smallest font is 1mm high now double it. you get 2mm and 8cm fonts. the 2mm is not readable. the 8cm is less readable. double it again. you get 4mm and 16cm. 4mm is just readable. 16cm can be half the page. see what i mean? even if increase is proportional, this is highly troublesome. i erred in not pointing that out preemptively. one fix might be additive, not multiplicative scaling. if you double 1mm and 10mm, then you should get 2mm and 11mm instead of 2mm and 80mm. this is what i was referring to. the comment about small fonts sometimes not increasing at all is true sometimes, but not most of the time and was a red herring causing you to "notreproducible". the large fonts currently increase the most. 1mm and 1cm becomes 2mm and 2cm, which is an increase of 1mm and 1cm. sometimes it is even worse if there are only a few large sizes available. the small font not increasing problem is not what i want to emphasize. it might be due to a minimum font size or a hardcoded element. hih
