It seems that desktop IE10 doesn\'t correctly scale text that has its font size set in viewport units, when the zoom level is not set to 100%. I\'m trying to find out which IE v
This is a simple workaround: the font sizes are set in percentages, and a resize-triggered script sets the body font size according to the body width.
However, I'd still like to know which browsers and versions I need to enable this workaround for. Please try out the example in the question, and report your platform, browser, version, and the observed behaviour when resizing and zooming the window.
