XF 2.0 What is the easiest way to make XenForo compatible with browser font size accessibility options?

What is the easiest way to make XenForo compatible with browser font size accessibility options? Is the software setup so that simply switching to relative units in the Typography style property group should be mostly sufficient, or is this likely going to cause issues with components in other places.

Aren't most accessibility options based around whole page zoom these days, roughly making the limitations of pixel-based font sizing a legacy issue?

But if you adjust the font sizes in the style properties, that should really be more or less all you need to do, as text sizes should generally be governed by those.

Okay thank you, I will adjust it and hopefully that should be, for the most part, sufficient.

Regarding zoom vs font-size for accessibility users, this article may be insightful if it is something you are curious about: https://medium.com/@vamptvo/pixels-vs-ems-users-do-change-font-size-5cfb20831773

We have a large type style on our 1.5 board (part of the work done when the site style was created during set up in 2014) that increases the default font size for messages. Not sure it gets used much though there was some discussion at some point that suggested some users were using it.
