I have read in the past that it is recommended to use only relative sized fonts in web pages of accessibility. Is this still the case? Using Bootsrap from IE7, for example, which uses body{ font-size: 14px; }
makes changing the text size do nothing. Is this how a user with functional needs would use the page, or would the user use the Ctrl++ / Ctrl+MouseWheelUp method which actually increases the web page size, not just the text. After doing some searches online, I cannot find any definitive up to date information.
This issues has been raised in the Bootstrap issue tracker, though, but Mark Otto thinks it is not a concern, stating "browsers scale up entire pages these days, so it's not an issue with type scaling or anything."
