Are you asking what % increase or decrease do browsers use to
respond to a command by the user to "Make text bigger" or "Make
text smaller". OK, let me look on Safari:
Normal for me of a simple phrase I am looking at on my screen is
3cm. Looking it at a click bigger: 4cm. One more click: 4.3cm.
One more: 5.1 That is horiz. Do like this and spreadshgeet the
results for different browsers, graph the results, figure it all
out.
Want it in pxs? Easy enough, do same but snap (restricted
screenshot) and px size will come up in the image editor (crop
accurately now, won't you?).
There is likely no one answer to all this across all browsers.
And you will not make any better websites in the slightest by
knowing the fine details. But as a question, it shows a fine
sense of idle curiosity.
