I’m so sorry about question 5. I meant to reference to 1.4.4 - Resize text up to 200 % without loss of content.
I have read other developers saying that “zoom” might be considered as a minimum requirement.
If that true. Dynamic font might not be implement because of the cost. Which I would consider to be problematic, since “Zoom” isn’t a user friendly feature.
