Accessibility Issue - fixed font size in css styles.

[Roomka]

Branch:master Expected Behavior: When changing font size from browser the page/site should adjust the font correctly. WCAG Guidelines: 1.4.3 Resize text (Level AA) Current Behavior: The text remains the same size after changing font preferences in browser. Steps to reproduce in chrome (similar to other browsers): 1.Go to settings -> advanced settings 2.Change font size to large/small 3.Check a page from the server

Looks like 0.12.x, but someone can check if the issue exist on 0.13.x & develop.

I don't have 0.13 on this machine to test, but on Develop the font size seem determined by the bootstrap. I tested zoom options in FF, Chrome & IE: Page zoom works in all and KA Lite behaves well up to 400% zoom (media-queries firing fine). What does not work (as stated above) is the Text-only zoom on Chrome & IE (on FF it does).

I will recheck with the Zoom Text (another program used by people with low vision), but it works differently and does not depend on font size setup for browsers.

All in all, I would say that this requires neither urgent nor essential fix.

Hello, I'm new, i would like to work on this, could you guide me as to what needs to be done?

Hi @shreab373 - welcome :)

Can definitely help you get this issue solved :)

The first place to go is our developer docs: http://ka-lite.readthedocs.io/en/develop/developer_docs/index.html

From there on, get a working environment set up..

Can I ask curiously why this issue exactly is something you want or need to have solved?

[ghost]

hello, I'm a beginner to open source contributions, i was looking at easier things to fix, in your opinion is this a good first bug?

[benjaoming]

@shreab373 - depends, do you know Python? CSS?

[ghost]

i do know python and but i'm only familiar with css as i had used in a project which was about a year ago..

[benjaoming]

Well, the issue is probably something that will require you to do some research on CSS and font handling. But you also have to research how to get the development environment for KA Lite running ;) Once you have it up, it's probably easier for you to understand how to make the necessary changes and if you want to work on this issue in particular.

It requires a simple fix, but it's depending on whether you want to research it :)

i shall first set up dev env and get back to this as soon as that is done! thanks :)
