Description

NOTE: On hold while we update Eventlogging to capture more accurate data on font selection

Problem

Currently there are 14 different font-size settings in the Android app for selection, which is overly complex and also includes 5 extremely small sizes for selection that are well below the recommended 14sp for reading body text on mobile devices.

Proposed solution

Reduce the number of font-sizes for selection to the most commonly used set, considering a standard number available across similar reading apps.
