His home page doesn't work for me. As I explained to Nick long ago,
those who have adjusted their default up from 12pt/16px get a
substantial horizontal scroll there no matter what size their browser
viewport.

The whole idea of a window's text size automatically changing according
to the happenstance of a particular window size/font size combination is
an offensive accessibility nightmare.

It will be interesting to see what a page trying to do this behaves like
when encountered with a new Gecko's that includes this proposal to make
browser default font size meaningful:
