Update the Type Size
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Need to make the type size bigger so a reader can scan it quickly.
We have been testing a larger type size and it helps with quick reading. The caveat is that a user sees less text.

.mwe-popups{
font-size: 15px;
line-height:24px;
}

.mwe-popups-extract {
max-height: 103px !important;
}

.mwe-popups-is-tall .mwe-popups-extract {
max-height: 100px !important;
}

Increase font size

I have used different values for the max-height so that more text can be shown.

This bug should probably be marked as a duplicate of bug 63508 as that's where all the other typography attachments, discussions, and CC: list exist. Change the bug-title (summary) if needed.

But first:

font-size: 15px;
line-height:24px;

Does it have to be in px? I believe our typography is usually specified in em, so that users' browser-setting-overrides work properly (eg. the people with poor eyesight who use screen magnifiers or default zoom levels). However, I do understand this is a limited-size widget, so possibly px makes more sense here?

Will do!

the people with poor eyesight who use screen magnifiers or default zoom levels

Zooming will still increase the type size. I've included a screenshot after zooming in.
