Abstract
Methods and systems for inferring and predicting the desirable font size of a content area are disclosed. An example method may include detecting a use gesture changing a size of a first content area displayed on a touchscreen, determining that the user has found an optimal font size based on the user gesture detected, and calculating an average that size of the first content area. The method may further include receiving an indication to display a second content area and displaying the second content area on the touchscreen. The method may also include adjusting the font size of the second content area based on the average font size of the first content area, and displaying the second content area with the adjusted font size on the touchscreen.
