Questions regarding UI Options: Minimum text size

[a.cheetham at utoronto.ca]

I have a question about the meaning of "Minimum text size" in the UI  
Options dialog.

My understanding of the purpose of "Minimum text size" is to enlarge  
things that are smaller than the desired minimum, but to leave alone  
anything that is already larger than the minimum. The current  
implementation does not do this.

I've filed a JIRA about this that describes how to view the scenario:

     http://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-2394

I've discussed the implementation with Michelle and Jacob. It seems  
that it isn't really technically possible to implement what I expect  
"minimum text size" to do, as described above.

My question is: If we can't do this, should we be offering to do it?

Maybe given what we *can* technically do, the control should be  
labelled "Base text size"

Thoughts?
