[Building Sakai] Sakai 10 Font Size Improvement

[Mustansar Mehmood]

These are great ideas based on response I read I think here the points
to take home from this discussion so far.

1-Typography is just one part of the puzzle to improve readability and
visual appeal and there are going to varied size and resolution of
screens no matter what(Like always:))
2-We need a skin that is somehow(automatically or property/parameter
settings ) adjusts typography as well as rendering of other HTML
components such as input boxes etc  not just the font size
3-Perhaps same Skin should be releases in a few separate versions
addressing different subset of resolutions/sizes
Regards,
Mustansar

I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which, when,you  looked at it in the right way, did not become still more complicated.
