Description
https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/pull/9208 proposed removing `text-size` restrictions, but then suffers from distortion in the enlarged glyphs. This could be better supported using multi-channel SDFs ([gl-native discussion](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/issues/137)) or with glyphs and text being rendered entirely by the client using a local font.
