A feature that I want on my site is to allow viewers to change the size of the displayed text. This is a pretty common element of many sites and is often displayed like this:
A- A A+
I believe it is also a requirement to have this to comply with accessibility laws so I'm surprised that I don't see it on any of the Joomla! theme demos.
My concern is that fonts specified in CSS are not always scalable so I'd like to know for certain that RocketTheme templates will support this, and I'd also like to know how to implement it.

- I only know we have had it on older templates. Check this one out: demo.rockettheme.com/feb11/

That's why it's conspicuous absence from several of the newer templates has me concerned.

- Is there a way to limit it's application, though, only on article text?

- Glad to know it's in the template settings - I was afraid of choosing a template that doesn't support it. It's interesting to note that when I tested it on the demo, it didn't change the size of menu text.

just as a side note.
these text resizers are really old school.
modern browsers can zoom the entire page – far better than text resizing.
there is no real use for them anymore,

- Henning - I take a different view. Technology that is hidden is not utilized. Hiding a menu until you scroll over it (like Ubuntu has done) means that users are confused because they don't know something is available. Zooming in browsers is the same way. Without a visual element to tell a user that a feature is there, for most users the feature may as well not exist.

I would say it depends on the type of site...
In business sites advertising services for example, you won't find text-resizers often...in news sites, often with long texts, you got that in much much greater proportion... - You can call me George
