mobile version

the problem text sizes not re-sizing based on window. here great article understand responsive re-sizing.

to fix have few options.

the first use @media queries - can still use ems! note: when using ems should have base em others (including width, height, , other font sizes) based off of. can affect changing 1 font size. example

media , (max-width: 25em) {   html {     font-size:50%;   } } 

this make text have half it's original size when screen smaller 25em width

a second option use javascript (this uses jquery well) it. pulled example this post, can find or come more eloquent solution if want use method. here example

$(function() {     $(window).bind('resize', function()     {         resizeme();         }).trigger('resize'); }); function resizeme() {     //standard height, body font size correct     var preferredheight = 768;        var displayheight = $(window).height();     var percentage = displayheight / preferredheight;     var newfontsize = math.floor(/*default font size*/ * percentage) - 1;      $("body").css("font-size", newfontsize); } 

or use plugin don't recommend paragraphs of text, small amount work fine. 2 of common ones fittext , bigtext
