Actual Behavior
Framework7 does not currently respect the iOS font scaling.
iOS with default font scaling
iOS with large font scaling(not working)
Expected Behavior
Respect os font scaling
Background
We have a lot of users who don't use the default iOS font scaling.
Here's some tech info in regards to supporting scalable fonts: http://www.interactiveaccessibility.com/blog/text-resizing-web-pages-ios-using-dynamic-type
I can confirm using their test page (http://ia11y.github.io/Coding-Patterns/iOS/text-resizing/resizable-vs-non-resizable-font-ios.html) that the font does scale on iOS devices.
Basically this would require a switch to em font sizes. I see there's a v3 of framework7 in the works, maybe this could be a feature for that version?
