Odd type setting on Android tablet #4

It looks like the JS driving the type setting has some odd issues with Chrome on Android on a 7" tablet– possibly with the width detection. It also doesn't look too hot on the stock Ice Cream Sandwich browser.

Overall I think if you removed the JS messing with the type, you would have a lot better UX reading the manifesto. The page redraws on resize are particularly slow even on my Macbook Pro. I don't think it matters much, but the Android device is a rooted Kindle Fire with gedeROM CM9 (Ice Cream Sandwich).

Hmm, going to have to think about this one a bit more. I don't think I will globally remove BigText from the project, since I think that's most of the visual appeal.

If Android supported vw CSS units, that could be a route I could take, but alas. http://caniuse.com/#search=vw

It also looks like the League Gothic font didn't load there. Is there an issue with @font-face and Android?
