Font size control: The limit of 5 t-shirt sizes makes it more difficult to style all heading levels #65108

What problem does this address?

In HTML we have heading level 1 to 6. Which usually means a theme needs to have at least 6 font sizes, unless the theme designer and content creator wants to re-use one size. Even then, one size will need to be the same as the default paragraph size.

I am aware that this is opinionated and subjective, but I believe this opinion is shared with others and not mine alone: The "t-shirt size control" is a better user experience than the drop down which is used when there are more than five font sizes. It is not always the easiest decision: either compromise on the typographic design or compromise on the user experience of selecting and applying the sizes.

So I consider the typographic need of being able to style all 6 heading levels a good reason for fitting six sizes in this control instead of five.

What is your proposed solution?

Re-design the control to fit six sizes.

Six levels without having to click sounds fantastic.
