Description

From @paperboyo

Dotcom on my Chrome on Android recently stopped reacting to OS-level Font size settings (I made it into a notification widget). DCAR inside app still reacts. I noticed in the middle of writing the report that live blogs are not reacting correctly like articles, only when they are in the app ;-)
I was thinking it’s us, something we did to dottcom.

But could it be this?

Do we need a new approach to Gu-wide font size overrides?
