Description

Describe the bug

There is an issue from accesibility validator for InputText:

WCAG2 AA 1.4.4: Use relative rather than absolute units with 'font-size'.
Using relative units helps the page to be rendered correctly at different resolutions and allows people with sight difficulties to 'zoom in' to pages to read them.

.p-float-label input:focus ~ label, .p-float-label input:-webkit-autofill ~ label, .p-float-label input.p-filled ~ label, .p-float-label textarea:focus ~ label, .p-float-label textarea.p-filled ~ label, .p-float-label .p-inputwrapper-focus ~ label, .p-float-label .p-inputwrapper-filled ~ label, .p-float-label .p-tooltip-target-wrapper ~ label {
   top: -0.75rem;
   font-size: 12px;
}

Research direction

Locate the shown .p-float-label selector in the InputText styling and inspect how its font size is defined. Replace the absolute font-size unit with a relative unit, then validate an InputText example with an accessibility validator to confirm the WCAG 1.4.4 error is gone.
