Re: [blink-dev] Intent to Ship: CSS env variable for OS-level font scale

Hi Peter, Yeah, we call out that WebView situation in the explainer: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/blob/main/css-env-1/explainers/env-preferred-text-scale.md#note-android-webview We recommend WebView authors whose pages use env(preferred-text-scale) to call setTextZoom(100)

Hi, It is not entirely clear if this will also be enabled for WebView as part of the Android enablement. WebView has an API to explicitly set the text zoom , which is applied to the FrameWidget here
