Classically, because the terminal is a grid of equally sized characters, only a single text size was supported in terminals, with one minor exception, some characters were allowed to be rendered in...
Partially blind guy here who struggles to use computers these days because EVERYTHING IS FREAKING TEENY TINY TEXT YOU CAN’T CHANGE ESPECIALLY MOBILE AAAAAH IT HURTS.
Another thing is that this standard does not allow setting an absolute size… so someone setting a size that’s 2/3 of normal size would still be relatively big if your normal size is big.
The problem with the web is that some websites use absolute units that might not scale well (like px) to define the sizes.
Glad to hear about the “opt in”.
