In styleengine, we use font_factor for calculation of larger and x-small and so forth, but we don't apply it when given an ordinary font size like 11px.
Just to double-check: That's not intended behaviour, right?
sorry for the delay... This is intentional, but we know that there is a usability issue. In CSS px, mm, pt etc. define absolute sizes [1]. So if we want to adhere to the CSS spec strictly I think we can't just scale them. On the other hand web designers just use px without thinking about the implications. Also other browsers allow scaling of those fonts afaik. I think we have the following options: * ignore CSS and apply font_factor also to absolute font sizes * implement a zoom feature that displays everything larger (also images etc. * check other browsers for more alternatives [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/fonts.html#font-size-props
