[Building Sakai] Sakai 10 Font Size Improvement

[mark.reilly]

This is a skin question.

I would go with a responsive typography to adjust the base font size in
relation to your screen size. You don't want to have a huge font size on a
small screen and have to scroll like crazy.

Here's a quick overview.

To find an appropriate font-size for your screen size you'll need to use the
line measure (length). The line measure for body copy is between 50-75
characters is the standard best practice.

Fluid Type

This is a fairly hot topic in web design at the moment os various approaches
are being used. There are a few new units in CSS that are helping, rem and
viewport units.

Thanks,
