Hi folks, thanks for the great ongoing work. :) I've got a typography/accessibility bug to report, and related notes.

That's the main bug, that I'd like to address.
I.e. If I go to my (firefox) browser's `Edit->Preferences->Content->Fonts & Colors` and set the default font size to (e.g.) 24px, then //nothing changes at phabricator//. Whereas most other sites get the massively increased font size.

This was part of a longer discussion about changing the base font size from the current 13px (rendered) up to 14px (which is what most of MediaWiki currently uses by default, for body copy).
I added some links and notes about industry standards/recommendations (i.e. using em or %, instead of px, to define font-sizes) in a comment at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T81#952891
I also made this recommendation, that I'll copy in full:

>> body { font:100%

I'm not a professional in this area, so please do check/verify those recommendations. I hope they help. :)
