UPDATE - June 8, 2013: I am planning to move the documentation and demos to Github. For the time being, I'm leaving these on my website angstrey.com.
##jQuery Text Resizer Plugin
The jQuery Text Resizer Plugin allows you to create controls for changing the font size of one or more elements on a page. It gives your users a fine degree of control over font sizes. It is flexible in that it lets you specify exactly how to resize text, how it should be styled (via CSS or CSS3), where in your page it should be resized, and how the font size controls are to be structured.
Though modern Web browsers do offer text-resizing functionality, many Web users aren't aware that these features exist and might appreciate a convenient method to control the font size of the content they're reading. Since not all users browse your Web pages with a desktop or laptop, modern Web development demands designing with mobile devices in mind. Screen sizes vary per device, and so do font sizes. Typography is more important than ever. jQuery Text Resizer can aid you in creating the controls for sizing content on demand.
The plugin works in tandem with the jQuery Cookie plugin so that it's able to remember the user’s settings on their next visit (if they have cookies enabled, of course).
