Re: 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) - Large-scale text

I would just like to ask the question - what happens if you want to just increase the size of the fonts rather than the pictures so you can read text more easily and increase line spacing - this has been found to be incredibly helpful for those with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia or LD?

Zoom is often too much and leaves one with lots of scrolling in both directions not helpful if you are someone who finds text appears to jump or you are coping with what they call 'rivers of text' .

Best wishes E.A.
