Hi,

I am unaware of any scientifically gathered stats on this user behaviour,
but from observations others and I have made here in our environment it
appears most people are unaware of the feature.

However, I think allowing users to select their own font size is a valuable
feature that would benefit a great many people. I think there is a problem
with the design of the feature, not the feature itself. Actually, I wonder
if a better solution is for a site to implement font sizing...doing
something like WebAIM does.

Thanks,
Tim
